22. One thing there is for which so great a good is deferred: We must circumcise every male among us, following the manner of the nation.
23. And their substance, and cattle, and all that they possess, shall be ours: only in this let us condescend, and by dwelling together, we shall make one people.
24. And they all agreed, and circumcised all the males.
25. And behold the third day, when the pain of the wound was greatest, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dina, taking their swords, entered boldly into the city, and slew all the men:
26. And they killed also Hemor and Sichem, and took away their sister Dina, out of Sichem's house.
