Genesis 34:13 in Context — Genesis 34

11 Sichem dit au père et aux frères de Dina: Que je trouve grâce à vos yeux, et je donnerai ce que vous me direz.

12 Exigez de moi une forte dot et beaucoup de présents, et je donnerai ce que vous me direz; mais accordez-moi pour femme la jeune fille.

13 Les fils de Jacob répondirent et parlèrent avec ruse à Sichem et à Hamor, son père, parce que Sichem avait déshonoré Dina, leur sœur.

14 Ils leur dirent: C’est une chose que nous ne pouvons pas faire, que de donner notre sœur à un homme incirconcis; car ce serait un opprobre pour nous.

15 Nous ne consentirons à votre désir qu’à la condition que vous deveniez comme nous, et que tout mâle parmi vous soit circoncis.
