11 Then Shechem said to Dinah's father and brothers, “Do me this favour, and I will give you whatever you want.
12 Tell me what presents you want, and set the payment for the bride as high as you wish; I will give you whatever you ask, if you will only let me marry her.”
13 Because Shechem had disgraced their sister Dinah, Jacob's sons answered Shechem and his father Hamor in a deceitful way.
14 They said to him, “We cannot let our sister marry a man who is not circumcised; that would be a disgrace for us.
15 We can agree only on the condition that you become like us by circumcising all your males.
16 Then we will agree to intermarriage. We will settle among you and become one people with you.
17 But if you will not accept our terms and be circumcised, we will take her and leave.”
