Genesis 34:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 34:20

18 And their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.

19 So the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob’s daughter. He was ^amore honorable than all the household of his father.

20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the ^agate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying:

21 “These men are at peace with us. Therefore let them dwell in the land and trade in it. For indeed the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us as wives, and let us give them our daughters.

22 Only on this condition will the men consent to dwell with us, to be one people: if every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised.
