21 “These men are [a]friendly with us; therefore let them [b]live in the land and trade in it, for behold, the land is [c]large enough for them. Let us take their daughters [d]in marriage, and give our daughters to them. 22 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to [e]live with us, to become one people: that every male among us be circumcised as they are circumcised. 23 Will not their livestock and their property and all their animals be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will [f]live with us.”
