In context

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.

²³Will not their livestock, their possessions, and all their animals become ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell among us.”

²⁴All the men who went out of the city gate listened to Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male of the city was circumcised.
