14 Y dijéronles: No podemos hacer esto de dar nuestra hermana á hombre que tiene prepucio; porque entre nosotros es abominación.

15 Mas con esta condición os haremos placer: si habéis de ser como nosotros, que se circuncide entre vosotros todo varón;

16 Entonces os daremos nuestras hijas, y tomaremos nosotros las vuestras; y habitaremos con vosotros, y seremos un pueblo.

17 Mas si no nos prestareis oído para circuncidaros, tomaremos nuestra hija, y nos iremos.

18 Y parecieron bien sus palabras á Hamor y á Sichêm, hijo de Hamor.
