This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Shechem. A national sanctuary (Jos_24:1). Now Nablous, corruption of Neapolis, the (New town) of Vespasian. The site of Abraham's first altar. Jacob's first home. Here the tribes met. Here Joseph was buried. All this before Jebus became Jerusalem. Hence the envy of Ephraim for Judah (Isa_11:13). Degraded by new name, Sychar = drunkenness (Isa_28:1-7). Yet here alone in all the world is the Paschal lamb still slain.
