Genesis 34:15 In-Context

13 Jacob's sons responded deviously to Shechem and his father Hamor because Shechem defiled their sister Dinah.

14 They said to them, "We can't do this, allowing our sisters to marry uncircumcised men, because it's disgraceful to us.

15 We can only agree to do this if you circumcise every male as we do.

16 Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters for ourselves. We will live with you and be one people.

17 But if you don't listen to us and become circumcised, we will take our daughter and leave."
