Genesis 34:14 in Context — Genesis 34

12 Aumentai muito a exigência de meu dote e presentes, que eu darei quanto me disserdes, e dá-me a moça por mulher.

13 E responderam os filhos de Jacó a Siquém e a Hamor seu pai com engano; e falaram, porquanto havia violado a sua irmã Diná.

14 E disseram-lhes: Não podemos fazer isto de dar nossa irmã a homem que tem prepúcio; porque entre nós é abominação.

15 Mas com esta condição vos consentiremos: se haveis de ser como nós, que se circuncide entre vós todo homem;

16 Então vos daremos nossas filhas, e tomaremos nós as vossas; e habitaremos convosco, e seremos um povo.
