“And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.”
All the men who went out of the city gate agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male in the city was circumcised. The community's collective compliance with the condition is the community entering the vulnerability the brothers' plan requires. The application: the collective decision of a community to comply with a condition that serves one person's desire places the whole community in the consequences of that person's actions.
