If you will be circumcised The phrase "If you will be circumcised" is pivotal in understanding the cultural and religious significance of circumcision in the ancient Near East. The Hebrew word for circumcise is "מול" (mul), which carries the connotation of a covenantal act. In the context of Genesis, circumcision was instituted by God as a sign of the covenant between Him and Abraham's descendants (Genesis 17:10-14). This act was not merely a physical procedure but a profound spiritual symbol of belonging to God's chosen people. The demand for circumcision here by Jacob's sons reflects their understanding of this rite as a boundary marker of identity and faithfulness to God's covenant. It also underscores the seriousness with which they viewed the integration of Shechem and his people into their family and community. all of you males as we are Hebrew We will consentנֵא֣וֹת (nê·’ō·wṯ) Verb - Nifal - Imperfect - first person common plural Strong's 225: To come, to assent to this לָכֶ֑ם (lā·ḵem) Preposition | second person masculine plural Strong's Hebrew on one אַךְ־ (’aḵ-) Adverb Strong's 389: A particle of affirmation, surely condition, אִ֚ם (’im) Conjunction Strong's 518: Lo!, whether?, if, although, Oh that!, when, not that you become תִּהְי֣וּ (tih·yū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine plural Strong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, be circumcised לְהִמֹּ֥ל (lə·him·mōl) Preposition-l | Verb - Nifal - Infinitive construct Strong's 4135: To cut short, curtail, to blunt, to destroy like us— כָמֹ֔נוּ (ḵā·mō·nū) Preposition | first person common plural Strong's 3644: Like, as, when every one of כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct Strong's 3605: The whole, all, any, every your males. זָכָֽר׃ (zā·ḵār) Noun - masculine singular Strong's 2145: Remembered, a male Links Genesis 34:15 NIVGenesis 34:15 NLT Genesis 34:15 ESV Genesis 34:15 NASB Genesis 34:15 KJV Genesis 34:15 BibleApps.com Genesis 34:15 Biblia Paralela Genesis 34:15 Chinese Bible Genesis 34:15 French Bible Genesis 34:15 Catholic Bible OT Law: Genesis 34:15 Only on this condition will we consent (Gen.
