We will enter into an agreement with you on one condition only: that you become like us by circumcising all your males.

Only on this condition will we agree with you—that you will become as we are by every male among you being circumcised.

But here is a solution. If every man among you will be circumcised like we are

We will agree with you only on this condition: if all your males are circumcised as we are.

but in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised

But on this condition we will consent to you: If you will become as we are, if every male of you is circumcised

Jacob’s sons answered Shechem and his father with cunning. Their sister, after all, had been raped. They said, “This is impossible. We could never give our sister to a man who was uncircumcised. Why, we’d be disgraced. The only condition on which we can talk business is if all your men become circumcised like us. Then we will freely exchange daughters in marriage and make ourselves at home among you and become one big, happy family. But if this is not an acceptable condition, we will take our sister and leave.”

Only on this condition will we consent to you: if you will become like us, in that every male of you will be circumcised

But we will consent to you only on this condition: if you will become like us, in that every male among you consents to be circumcised

We will give you our consent on this one condition: You must become like us by circumcising all your males.
