Genesis 34:15

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

But in this way may we be allied with you, if you will be like us, and all the male sex among you be circumcised:

See the chapter Copy

Be ye as I, because I also am as you: brethren, I beseech you: you have not injured me at all.

We cannot do what you demand, nor give our sister to one that is uncircumcised, which with us is unlawful and abominable.

Then will we mutually give and take your daughters, and ours: and we will dwell with you, and will be one people:

This is my covenant which you shall observe, between me and you, and thy seed after thee: All the male kind of you shall be circumcised.
