But in this will we consent unto you

Genesis 34:15 In-Context

13 Jacob's sons answered Shechem and his father with cunning. Their sister, after all, had been raped.

14 They said, "This is impossible. We could never give our sister to a man who was uncircumcised. Why, we'd be disgraced.

15 The only condition on which we can talk business is if all your men become circumcised like us.

16 Then we will freely exchange daughters in marriage and make ourselves at home among you and become one big, happy family.

17 But if this is not an acceptable condition, we will take our sister and leave."
