In context

¹⁸Their offer seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.

¹⁹The young man, who was the most respected of all his father’s household, did not hesitate to fulfill this request, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.

²⁰So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and addressed the men of their city:

²¹“These men are at peace with us. Let them live and trade in our land; indeed, it is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters in marriage and give our daughters to them.

²²But only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us and be one people: if all our men are circumcised as they are.
