Let us take their daughters as wives for ourselves, and let us give them our daughters. ²² Only on this condition will the men agree to live with us and to become one people with us: if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised. ²³ Won’t all their livestock, all their possessions, and all their animals become ours? So let’s accept their offer, so that they will settle among us.”
