1. Genesis 33:19

   And the plot of ground where he pitched his tent, he purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver.

   ›Commentary on Genesis 33:192 voices

   “For a hundred pieces of money - The original, במאה קשיטה bemeah kesitah, has been a matter of long and learned discussion among critics. As kesitah signifies a lamb, it may imply that Jacob gave the Hamorites one hundred lambs for the field; but if it be the same transaction that St. Stephen refers to in Act 7:16, it was money, τιμης αργυριον, a sum or price of silver, which was given on the occasion.

   “And he bought a parcel of a field,....

2. Genesis 34:26

   They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords, took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.

   ›Commentary on Genesis 34:261 voice

   “And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword,.... Whom they had been just treating with in a seeming friendly manner: Shechem was the chief aggressor, and his crime was very heinous; but considering that he did all he could, after the fact was committed, to make recompence for the injury done, he deserved other treatment, at least mercy should have been shown him.

3. Genesis 49:6

   May I never enter their council; may I never join their assembly. For they kill men in their anger, and hamstring oxen on a whim.

   ›Commentary on Genesis 49:62 voices

   “Likewise, when he said to Simeon and Levi, "I will divide you in Jacob and scatter you in Israel," he revealed that they were to be redeemed in the gathering together of the nations. For when the shepherd has been struck down, the flock that was previously brought together is scattered; thus one who did not belong could enter in and all Israel could be saved.

   “O my soul, come not thou into their secret,....

4. Joshua 24:32

   And the bones of Joseph, which the Israelites had brought up out of Egypt, were buried at Shechem in the plot of land that Jacob had purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver. So it became an inheritance for Joseph’s descendants.

   ›Commentary on Joshua 24:322 voices

   “And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt,.... At the request, and by the order of Joseph, Gen 50:25; which were punctually observed by the children of Israel under the direction and command of Moses, and therefore is ascribed to him, as here to them, Exo 13:19, buried they in Shechem; not in the city, but in a field near it, as the next clause shows.

   “And the bones of Joseph - See the note on Gen 50:25, and on Exo 13:19. This burying of the bones of Joseph probably took place when the conquest of the land was completed, and each tribe had received its inheritance; for it is not likely that this was deferred till after the death of Joshua.

5. Judges 9:28

   Then Gaal son of Ebed said, “Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal, and is not Zebul his officer? You are to serve the men of Hamor, the father of Shechem. Why should we serve Abimelech?

6. Acts 7:16

   Their bones were carried back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a price he paid in silver.

   ›Commentary on Acts 7:162 voices

   "And he himself died, and our fathers; and they were carried over into Shechem." Abraham with his family and the patriarchs were buried in Shechem, which perhaps was called "Sichem." Abraham bought this place himself in order to bury Sarah. "And were laid in the …

   “And were carried over into Sichem,.... The Syriac version reads in the singular number, "and he was translated into Sichem, and laid", &c. as if this was said of Jacob only, whereas he is not spoken of at all, only the fathers, the twelve patriarchs; for Jacob, though he was carried out of Egypt, he was not buried in Sichem, but in the cave of Machpelah, Gen 50:
