Genesis 12:6

Abram traveled through the land to the place called Shechem, to the oak of Moreh [literally: "the teacher's oak"]. At that time, the Canaanites were living in the land.
[Shechem means shoulder/axle and describes the place well geographically, as the mountains Gerizim and Ebal lie on either side like two shoulders. This is the first time Shechem is mentioned in the Bible. The next mention is 200 years later, when Abraham's grandson Jacob comes here. The archaeological site Tell Balata was found in 1903 and has been confirmed to be Shechem. Interestingly, the findings show that the site has been inhabited since the early Bronze Age (3500 BC), but the walls date from 1900 BC. When Abraham arrives here (shortly before 2000 BC), the phrase "the place" (Hebr. maqom) is used Shechem, while in Gen. 33:18 it is the city (Hebr. ir) Shechem. The Hebr. word ir describes a fortified city. This is also confirmed by the mention of its gate, see Gen. 34:20. In the center of the city, a sacred temple with a large stone-paved square has been discovered, which may be where the special oak tree (Mores terebint) referred to stood. Just 500 meters south of the city is Jacob's well, see John 4:4.]
