11 Shechem added, “Do this favour for me, and I'll give whatever you want.
12 Ask anything, no matter how expensive. I'll do anything, just let me marry Dinah.”
13 Jacob's sons wanted to get even with Shechem and his father because of what had happened to their sister.
14 So they tricked them by saying:You're not circumcised! It would be a disgrace for us to let you marry Dinah now.
15 But we will let you marry her, if you and the other men in your tribe get circumcised.
16 Then your families can marry into ours, and ours can marry into yours, and we can live together like one nation.
17 But if you don't agree to get circumcised, we'll take Dinah and leave this place.
