Genesis 33:18
Shalem.The word {Shalem,} in the Samaritan {Shalom,} should probably be rendered "in peace," or "in safety;" as it is translated by the Chaldee, Arabic, Coverdale, and Matthewes. Joh 3:23; 4:5; Ac 7:16a city of Shechem.Or, rather, "the city Shechem," which was situated in a narrow valley, abounding with springs, between Mounts Ebal and Gerizim, having the former on the north, and the latter on the south; 10 miles from Shiloh, and 34 from Jerusalem. It became the capital of Samaria, after the ruin of the city of that name. Jos 24:1; Jud 9:1; Joh 4:5Sychar.Ac 7:16Sychem. Padan-aram.25:20; 28:6,7; 35:9; 46:15
