Genesis 34:14-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 34
14
They said to them, 'We cannot do this thing,
that is,
give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for that would be a disgrace to us.
15
Only on this
condition
will we consent to you: if you will become like us, in that every male of you will be circumcised,
16
then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters for ourselves, and we will live with you and become one people.
17
But if you do not listen to us to be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go.'
18
Now their words seemed reasonable to Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
19
The young man did not delay to do this, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter. Now he was more respected than all the household of his father.
King James Version
Chapter 34
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.
18
And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
19
And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 34
14
"We cannot do this thing," they said to them. "Giving our sister to an uncircumcised man is a disgrace to us.
15
We will agree with you only on this condition: if all your males are circumcised as we are.
16
Then we will give you our daughters, take your daughters for ourselves, live with you, and become one people.
17
But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go."
18
Their words seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.
19
The young man did not delay doing this, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter. Now he was the most important in all his father’s family.
New Living Translation
Chapter 34
14
They said to them, 'We couldn’t possibly allow this, because you’re not circumcised. It would be a disgrace for our sister to marry a man like you!
15
But here is a solution. If every man among you will be circumcised like we are,
16
then we will give you our daughters, and we’ll take your daughters for ourselves. We will live among you and become one people.
17
But if you don’t agree to be circumcised, we will take her and be on our way.'
18
Hamor and his son Shechem agreed to their proposal.
19
Shechem wasted no time in acting on this request, for he wanted Jacob’s daughter desperately. Shechem was a highly respected member of his family,

They said to them, "We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a disgrace to us.
15
Only on this condition will we agree with you — that you will become as we are by every male among you being circumcised.
16
Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to ourselves, and we will dwell with you and become one people.
17
But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter, and we will be gone."
18
Their words pleased Hamor and Hamor 's son Shechem.
19
And the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob 's daughter. Now he was the most honored of all his father 's house.
New International Version
Chapter 34
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. That would be a disgrace to us.
15
We will enter into an agreement with you on one condition only: that you become like us by circumcising all your males.
16
Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves. We’ll settle among you and become one people with you.
17
But if you will not agree to be circumcised, we’ll take our sister and go."
18
Their proposal seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.
19
The young man, who was the most honored of all his father’s family, lost no time in doing what they said, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.
New King James Version
Chapter 34
14
And they said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that
would be
a reproach to us.
15
But on this
condition
we will consent to you: If you will become as we
are,
if every male of you is circumcised,
16
then we will 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.
17
But if you will not heed us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and be gone.”
18
And their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
19
So the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob’s daughter. He
was
more honorable than all the household of his father.
