Sichem, a Shoulder.

SIchem is a town in Samaria on the borders of Ephraim, lying on mount Garizim, 36 miles from Ierusalem Northward. It takes the name (as Phil. Melancthon writeth) from the place wher∣on it standeth, like a shoulder; for Sichem signifies a shoulder.

Of this town I will speak more at large in the new Testament, for that by it Christ spake with the Samaritan woman, Ioh. 4.

In this town Dina Iacobs daughter was rauished, Gen. 34. and there the bones of the Patriarch Ioseph were buried, Ios. 24.

Abimelech for spight & vpon no occasion vtterly destroied the town, and hauing razed it to the ground, sowed it with salt, Iudg. 9 But Ieroboam King of Ierusalem built it vp again and dwelt ther∣in, 1 Kin. 12.

It was a free town, whither a man-slayer might resort that had killed any man by chance, and saue himselfe, Ios. 20.

Mount Garizim, wheron the town of Sichem stood, was a piece of mount Ephraim.
