12. Ask me never so much dower and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say to me: but give me the damsel for a wife.
13. And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, (because he had defiled Dinah their sister,)
14. And they said to them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised: for that would be a reproach to us:
15. But in this will we consent to you: If ye will be as we are, that every male of you shall be circumcised;
16. Then will we 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.
17. But if ye will not hearken to us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
18. And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
19. And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honorable than all the house of his father.
