Genesis 34:15

New International Version

We will enter into an agreement with you on one condition only: that you become like us by circumcising all your males.

See the chapter Copy

I plead with you, brothers and sisters, become like me, for I became like you. You did me no wrong.

They said to them, “We can’t do such a thing; we can’t give our sister to a man who is not circumcised. That would be a disgrace to us.

Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves. We’ll settle among you and become one people with you.

This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
