One thing is, for which so great good is delayed; if we circumcise our males, and follow the custom of the folk,
This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, betwixt me and you, and thy seed after thee; each male kind of you shall be circumcised,
These men be peaceable, and will dwell with us; make they merchandise in the land, and till they it, which is large and broad, and hath need to tillers; we shall take their daughters to wives, and we shall give our daughters to them.
both their substance, and sheep, and all things which they wield, shall be ours; only assent we in this, that we dwell together, and make one people.
