Shechem, as a person, was the Canaanite prince whose rape of Jacob's daughter Dinah triggered the massacre carried out by her brothers Simeon and Levi; the city of the same name was also where Joseph's brothers were pasturing flocks when he was sent to check on them, and later the place where Israel renewed its covenant under Joshua.
