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

and they shall tell the elders of his city, “This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.”

5 when the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were around me,
