Genesis 34:18-24

¹⁸Now their words seemed reasonable to Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son. ¹⁹The young man did not delay to do this, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter. Now he was more respected than all the household of his father. ²⁰So Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city and spoke to the people of their city, saying, ²¹“These men are friendly to us; therefore let them live in the land and trade in it, for behold, the land is large enough for them. We will take their daughters in marriage, and give our daughters to them. ²²Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people: that every male among us be circumcised just as they are circumcised. ²³Will their livestock and their property and all their animals not be ours? Let’s just consent to them, and they will live with us.” ²⁴All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and to his son Shechem, and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
