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
