Genesis 34:21-23

Living Bible

²¹ “Those men are our friends,” they said. “Let’s invite them to live here among us and ply their trade. For the land is large enough to hold them, and we can intermarry with them. ²² But they will only consider staying here on one condition—that every one of us men be circumcised, the same as they are. ²³ But if we do this, then all they have will become ours and the land will be enriched. Come on, let’s agree to this so that they will settle here among us.”
