Genesis 34:15

But in this will we consent unto you

Genesis 34:15 In-Context

13 But since Shechem had defiled their sister, Dinah, Jacob’s sons responded deceitfully to Shechem and his father, Hamor.

14 They said to them, “We couldn’t possibly allow this, because you’re not circumcised. It would be a disgrace for our sister to marry a man like you!

15 But here is a solution. If every man among you will be circumcised like we are,

16 then we will give you our daughters, and we’ll take your daughters for ourselves. We will live among you and become one people.

17 But if you don’t agree to be circumcised, we will take her and be on our way.”
