18Their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem, Hamor`s son.
19The young man didn`t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob`s daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.
20Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,
21"These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For, behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
22Only on this condition will the men consent to us to dwell with us, to become one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23Won`t their cattle and their substance and all their animals be ours? Only let us give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us."
24All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
