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.

Genesis 34:21-23
New International Version
21 “These men are friendly toward us,” they said. “Let them live in our land and trade in it;(A) the land has plenty of room for them. We can marry their daughters and they can marry ours.(B) 22 But the men will agree to live with us as one people only on the condition that our males be circumcised,(C) as they themselves are. 23 Won’t their livestock, their property and all their other animals become ours?(D) So let us agree to their terms, and they will settle among us.(E)”
