12 Make the bride price and gift as high as you like; I will give what you say to me. But give me the girl as a wife.”
13 Then the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor speaking deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister.
14 And they said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for that is a disgrace for us.
15 Only on this condition will we give consent to you; if you will become like us—every male among you to be circumcised.
16 Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take for ourselves your daughters, and we will live with you and become one family.
17 But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised, then we will take our daughters and we will go.”
18 And their words were good in the eyes of Hamor and in the eyes of Shechem, the son of Hamor.
