23Won't their livestock, their property and all their other animals become ours? So let us give our consent to them, and they will settle among us."


In Context

20 So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city to speak to their fellow townsmen.

21 "These men are friendly toward us," they said. "Let them live in our land and trade in it; the land has plenty of room for them. We can marry their daughters and they can marry ours.

22 But the men will consent to live with us as one people only on the condition that our males be circumcised, as they themselves are.

23 Won't their livestock, their property and all their other animals become ours? So let us give our consent to them, and they will settle among us."

24 All the men who went out of the city gate agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male in the city was circumcised.

25 Three days later, while all of them were still in pain, two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and attacked the unsuspecting city, killing every male.
