Genesis 34:13-17 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

13. But Jacob’s sons answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully as they spoke, because he had defiled their sister Dinah.

14. They said to them, “We can’t do this thing—give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised—for this is a disgrace to us.

15. Only by this will we consent to you: if you will become like us, by circumcising every male.

16. Then we’ll give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves, and live with you, and become one people.

17. But if you don’t listen to us and be circumcised, we’ll take our daughter and leave.”
