To remove this glaring discrepancy, Markland interprets [para ,] from, as it frequently signifies with a genitive, and renders, "And were carried over to Sychem; and afterwards from among the descendants of Emmor, the father, or son, of Sychem, they were laid in the sepulchre which Abraham bought for a sum of money."

 14and said to them, We cannot do this, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach to us.
 15But only in this will we consent to you, if ye will be as we, that every male of you be circumcised;
 16then will we give our daughters to you, and take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and be one people.
