Genesis 34:15

A Conservative Version

Only on this condition will we consent to you: If ye will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised.

See the chapter Copy

I beseech you, brothers, become like me, because I also am like ye. Ye wronged me in nothing.

and said to them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for that is a reproach to us.

Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us. And we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.

This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee: every male among you shall be circumcised.
