Genesis 34:21-23

Expanded Bible

²¹ “These people want to be friends with us. So let them live in our land and trade here. ·There is enough land [^LThe land is broad on both sides] for all of us. Let us ·marry their women [^Ltake their daughters as wives for ourselves], and ·we can let them marry our women [^Lgive them our daughters]. ²² But we must agree to one thing: All our men must be circumcised as they are. Then they will agree to live in our land, and we will be one people. ²³ If we do this, their cattle and their animals will belong to us. Let us do what they say, and they will stay in our land.”
