Genesis 34:20 in Context — Genesis 34
18 Leurs paroles eurent l’assentiment de Hamor et de Sichem, fils de Hamor.
19 Le jeune homme ne tarda pas à faire la chose, car il aimait la fille de Jacob. Il était considéré de tous dans la maison de son père.
20 Hamor et Sichem, son fils, se rendirent à la porte de leur ville, et ils parlèrent ainsi aux gens de leur ville:
21 Ces hommes sont paisibles à notre égard; qu’ils restent dans le pays, et qu’ils y trafiquent; le pays est assez vaste pour eux. Nous prendrons pour femmes leurs filles, et nous leur donnerons nos filles.
22 Mais ces hommes ne consentiront à habiter avec nous, pour former un seul peuple, qu’à la condition que tout mâle parmi nous soit circoncis, comme ils sont eux-mêmes circoncis.
