34:12Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.

34:13And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:

34:14And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:

34:15But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;

34:16Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
