Below: Shechem,
intersection of Mts. Ebal and Gerizim, where Jacob enters Canaan and buys
property. However, he flees to Bethel after his daughter is raped and his sons
take vengeance.
Below: a selection of small cult figures, probably similar to the "foreign
gods" which Jacob collected from everyone in his household and buried
before leaving Shechem .
Below left:
Bethel, where Jacob settles fleeing from Shechem;
here he builds an altar and God appears again
to renew His promise. Below right: traditional tomb of Rachel just
north of Ephrath (now Bethlehem); Jacob leaves Bethel with Rachel pregnant, and
she dies giving birth to Benjamin.
Left: Traditional tombs of Rebekah and Isaac, in the Cave of Machpelah (below) along with Abraham and Sarah
