²¹ “These men are at peace with us. Let them dwell in the land and let them trade in it. Now, behold, the land is broad enough for them.^[a] Let us take their daughters as wives, and let us give our daughters to them. ²² Only on this condition will they give consent to us, to live with us and to become one family—when every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised. ²³ Will not their livestock and their property and all their animals be ours? Only let us give consent to them so they will live among us.”
