Genesis 34:17 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 34:17

But if ye will not hearken to us to be circumcised
Will not agree to this condition, circumcision: then will we take our daughter;
by force, as the Targum of Jonathan adds: and we will be gone:
depart from this part of the country, and go elsewhere.

Genesis 34:17 In-Context

15 sed in hoc valebimus foederari si esse volueritis nostri similes et circumcidatur in vobis omne masculini sexus

16 tunc dabimus et accipiemus mutuo filias nostras ac vestras et habitabimus vobiscum erimusque unus populus

17 sin autem circumcidi nolueritis tollemus filiam nostram et recedemus

18 placuit oblatio eorum Emor et Sychem filio eius

19 nec distulit adulescens quin statim quod petebatur expleret amabat enim puellam valde et ipse erat inclitus in omni domo patris sui
