Genesis34:14
14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised : for that were a reproach unto us.
There was no such law yet in force, as the Examples of Isaac and Iacob shew, who married the daughters of uncircumcised persons, and therefore they do not here reject it as simply unlawful, but onely as dishonourable and reproachful.
