14 and said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us.
15 Only on this condition will we consent unto you: if ye will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;
16 then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
