## Genesis 34:14 in Context (Verses 11–17 KJV)
 
 [11 ](/kjv/genesis/34/11) And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/genesis/34/12) Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/genesis/34/13) And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
 
 [14 ](/kjv/genesis/34/14) And they 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 ](/kjv/genesis/34/15) But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we *be*, that every male of you be circumcised;
 
 [16 ](/kjv/genesis/34/16) 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.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/genesis/34/17) But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
 
[Genesis 33](/kjv/genesis/33) [Genesis 35](/kjv/genesis/35)
