Genesis 34:15

“Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;”

Verse in context — Genesis 34

The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,

and said to them, "We can't do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.

Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;

then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.

But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.
