Genesis 34:17

17 But if you do not agree to our terms ^{▼▼ Heb “listen to us.”} by being circumcised, then we will take ^{▼▼ The perfect verbal form with the vav (ו) consecutive introduces the apodosis of the conditional sentence.} our sister ^{▼▼ Heb “daughter.” Jacob’s sons call Dinah their daughter, even though she was their sister (see v. 8). This has been translated as “sister” for clarity.} and depart.”
