Context34:16 Then we will give 1 you our daughters to marry, 2 and we will take your daughters as wives for ourselves, and we will live among you and become one people.
Genesis 34:22
Context34:22 Only on this one condition will these men consent to live with us and become one people: They demand 3 that every male among us be circumcised just as they are circumcised.


[34:16] 1 tn The perfect verbal form with the vav (ו) consecutive introduces the apodosis of the conditional sentence.

[34:22] 3 tn Heb “when every one of our males is circumcised.”
