But in this will we consent unto you

Genesis 34:15 In-Context

13 Their sister Dinah had been made "unclean." So Jacob's sons lied to Shechem and his father Hamor.

14 They said to them, "We can't do it. We can't give our sister to a man who isn't circumcised. That would bring shame on us.

15 We'll agree, but only on one condition. You will have to become like us. You will have to circumcise all of your males.

16 "Then we'll give you our daughters as your wives. And we'll take your daughters as our wives. We'll settle among you and become one people with you.

17 But if you won't agree to it, then we'll take our sister and go."
