Genesis 34:13-17
New International Version
13 Because their sister Dinah had been defiled,(A) Jacob’s sons replied deceitfully(B) as they spoke to Shechem and his father Hamor. 14 They said to them, “We can’t do such a thing; we can’t give our sister to a man who is not circumcised.(C) That would be a disgrace to us. 15 We will enter into an agreement with you on one condition(D) only: that you become like us by circumcising all your males.(E) 16 Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves.(F) We’ll settle among you and become one people with you.(G) 17 But if you will not agree to be circumcised, we’ll take our sister and go.”

Genesis 34:13-17
King James Version
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:
15 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;
16 Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
