Shechem ([pronunciation?]; Sichem, Shkhem or Sh-chea-mm, Hebrew: שְׁכֶם / שְׁכָם, Standard Šəḫem Tiberian Šəḵem; "Shoulder") was a Canaanite city mentioned in the Amarna letters, and is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as an Israelite city of the tribe of Manasseh and the first capital of the Kingdom of Israel. Traditionally associated with Nablus, it is now identified with the site of Tell Balatah in Balata al-Balad in the West Bank.
Its position is indicated in the Bible: it lay north of Bethel and Shiloh, on the high road going from Jerusalem to the northern districts (Judges xxi, 19), at a short distance from Michmethath (Joshua 17:7) and of Dothain (Genesis 37:12-17); it was in the hill-country of Ephraim (Joshua 20:7; 21:21; 1 Kings 12:25; 1 Chronicles 6:67; 7:28), immediately below Mount Gerizim (Judges 9:6-7). These indications are completed by Josephus, who says that the city lay between Mount Ebal and Mt. Garizim, and by the Madaba map, which places Sychem, also called Sikima between the Tour Gobel (Ebal) and the Tour Garizin (Garizim). The site of Shechem in patristic sources is almost invariably identified with or located close to the town of Nablus/Flavia Neapolis.

Plot

Potiphar: And to whom are these prayers addressed to? Which gods?::Joseph: Only one, my lord.::Potiphar: Only one god. Must be very poor indeed.::[crowd laughs]::Joseph: My God provides for all my needs.::Potiphar: He hasn't done very well for you, has he?::[more laughter]
Ednan: I thought you were pious, boy. Are you too good to pray to our gods?::Joseph: No, not too good. Only... I, I only pray to the God of my fathers.::Ednan: Well you won't find Him in Egypt.
Simeon: First he sets Joseph above us and now Benjamin...::Judah: [grabs him] Then so be it! We will not tease God another time!
Potiphar's Wife: [after Joseph is spared execution] You sent him to prison? At your pleasure? What about my honor?::Potiphar: What honor?::Potiphar's Wife: How dare you!::Potiphar: I know you, wife. I know you.::Potiphar's Wife: You don't understand. Whatever you may think of me... how could you? How could you humiliate me like that?::Potiphar: Because one humiliation deserves another. Wife, anyone who knows Joseph also knows that if he swears by his God then he's telling the truth.
Potiphar: You had better prostrate quickly.::Joseph: You know I cannot.::Pharaoh: [furious] You what?::Joseph: Clearly the Pharaoh is greatness itself but my faith decrees that I can only kneel before God - even on pain of death.::Pharaoh: [laughs] Come forward. Take heed, magicians. Whatever happens, I know this man won't lie to me.
Potiphar: I'd be careful if I were you. You worship as you like in Canaan but in Egypt only Pharaoh, son of Ra, is god.
Potiphar's Wife: They say whatever he touches flourishes.::Potiphar: Is this true? [Ednan nods]
Potiphar: Do you think you could bring some order in my home if I brought you out of the fields?::Joseph: Out of the fields, master, I can do anything.::Potiphar: Then out of the fields you shall be! We will see just how things flourish under your hand or perhaps, the hand of your God.
Joseph: I have seen the evils of rape! It is hateful to me and an abomination in the eyes of God.
Potiphar's Wife: What is more important to you? His God or my good name?::Potiphar: The truth.
