21 Estes homens são pacíficos conosco, e habitarão nesta terra, e comercializarão nela; pois eis que a terra é bastante ampla para eles; nós tomaremos suas filhas por mulheres, e lhes daremos as nossas.

22 Mas com esta condição nos estes homens consentirão em habitar conosco, para que sejamos um povo: se se circuncidar em nós todo homem, assim como eles são circuncidados.
