But in this will we consent unto you

Genesis 34:15 In-Context

13 Then Jacob's sons gave Shechem and his father Hamor a misleading answer because he had dishonored their sister Dinah.

14 They said, "We can't do this. We can't give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised. That would be a disgrace to us!

15 We will give our consent to you only on one condition: Every male must be circumcised as we are.

16 Then we'll give our daughters to you and take yours for ourselves, and we'll live with you and become one people.

17 If you won't agree to be circumcised, we'll take our daughter and go."
