Genesis 34:14-16

New International Reader's Version

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 your males. ¹⁶ Then we’ll give you our daughters as your wives. And we’ll take your daughters as our wives. We’ll live among you and become one big family with you.
