Acts 7:16

Their bodies were moved to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham had bought [for his wife Sarah] for a sum of silver from the children of Hamor in Shechem [which is in Samaria on 'unholy' ground].
[In his short and hurried speech, Stephen seems to summarize two events to make his point that God works outside Jerusalem, and especially in Samaria, which sounded bad to the supporters of the Sanhedrin. The tomb that Abraham bought was in Hebron, not Shechem Gen. 23:16–20. Joseph was buried in Shechem and Jacob in Hebron. Abraham bought the cave from the Hittites for 400 shekels, see Gen. 23:10–16, and it was Jacob who bought the field from Hamor, see Gen. 33:18–20.]
