Bible Reference & Map Description

This is my map of Central Israel, showing the position of the ancient city of Shechem, situated between Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim, in the hills of Israel. The city is mentioned over 60 times in the Bible, the first reference to it being in Genesis chapter 12, when Abram & Sarai visit it and camp there, by the Oak of Moreh

Date
Abram journeyed from Haran to Shechem about 1855 B.C.

Notice the figures on the border of the map.
If you look carefully at the map border you will see I have included some little black and white figures.

Bible References
Genesis 12:5-6 (NLT)
5 [He [Abram] took his wife, Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all his wealth—his livestock and all the people he had taken into his household at Haran—and headed for the land of Canaan.] When they arrived in Canaan, 6 Abram travelled through the land as far as Shechem. There he set up camp beside the oak of Moreh. At that time, the area was inhabited by Canaanites.
