Places
Shechem in Genesis 37
SHEE-kem
This place shows up in Genesis 37:12: “His brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 37:12
“His brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.”
