Genesis 34:15

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

But we will allow you to marry her if you do this one thing: Every man in your town must be circumcised like us.

See the chapter Copy

Brothers and sisters, I became like you. So please become like me. You were very good to me before.

The brothers said to them, “We cannot allow our sister to marry you because you are not yet circumcised. That would bring us shame.

Then your men can marry our women, and our men can marry your women. Then we will become one people.

This is my agreement that all of you must obey. This is the agreement between me and you and all your descendants. Every male must be circumcised.
