Genesis 34:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 These men are [a]peaceable with us: and that they may dwell in the land, and do their affairs therein (for behold, the land hath room enough for them) let us take their daughters to wives, and give them our daughters.
22 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, and to be one people, if all the men children among us be circumcised as they are circumcised.
23 Shall not [b]their flocks and their substance and all their cattle be ours? only let us consent herein unto them and they will dwell with us.
