| | The existence of Samaritans and their presence in the midst of the land near Shechem, the place where God had confirmed His promise of the land to Abraham when he first entered it, constituted a constant reminder of Israel’s apostasy and its resulting exile from the land. | | | At Shechem, Joshua set up a large stone to remind Israel of their commitment to worship God alone. | | | At Shechem, Jacob built an altar and called it "El-Elohe-Israel" when he returned from Padan-Aram with his eleven sons whose descendants would possess that land (Gen 33:19-20). |

| | Shechem is also the Biblical site at which Dina the daughter of Jacob was raped, and subsequently Jacob's sons avenged the crime by murdering the males of the city (Genesis 34). | | | As such, it happened to be the first stop of Abraham when he came into the Land of Canaan, and the first place in the Land of Canaan in which God appeared to him, promising that the land would be given to his descendants (Genesis 12:6-7). | | | Jacob purchased the land in Shechem, (Genesis 33:19) and when he died he handed it down to his son Joseph (Genesis 48:22). |
