We will consent to this on one condition, that you become circumcised like us—every one of your males.

Commenting on Genesis 34:6-17
But in this will we consent unto you,.... Upon the following condition, that Dinah should be given in marriage: if ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised; as the sons of Jacob were, according to the command given to Abraham their great grandfather, Gen 17:10.
But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we [be], that every male of you be circumcised; (e) Their fault is even greater since they made religion a disguise for their deceit.
