Genesis 34:14 in Context — Genesis 34
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.
16 Nous vous donnerons alors nos filles, et nous prendrons pour nous les vôtres; nous habiterons avec vous, et nous formerons un seul peuple.
