Shechem … Promised land by God to Abraham

HISTORICAL SITES IN
ISRAEL …Mounts Gerizim and Ebal
Located between Mt. Gerizim (left) and Mt. Ebal (right) Shechem is preeminent in the biblical record, beginning with God’s promise of the land to Abraham. Later Jacob would return her with his family and settle shortly. During the Conquest, the twelve tribes gathered on these two hills to recite God’s Law and the blessings and curses that accompanied obedience and disobedience.
