Places
Shechem in Numbers 26
SHEE-kem
This place shows up in Numbers 26:31: “and Asriel, the family of the Asrielites; and Shechem, the family of the Shechemites;” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Numbers 26:31
“and Asriel, the family of the Asrielites; and Shechem, the family of the Shechemites;”
What kids can learn
When you hear shechem in Numbers, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Numbers 26:31 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
