I asked him if the bible was so clear that Jacob was buried in Hebron on land Abraham bought from Ephron, why did the New Testament incorrectly say that “Jacob and our fathers died … and they [Jacob and the fathers] were buried in Shechem in a tomb Abraham purchased from the son of Chamor” (Acts 7:15-16). ‫בס" ד‬ Spiritual Insight For The Week with Rabbi Bentzion Kravitz Eye-Opening Debate in Jerusalem Not long ago, I befriended Mark, a young Jewish college student who was influenced by his roommate to convert to Christianity. Immediately the Israeli corrected me and pointed out that not only was Shechem a dangerous place to visit but that Jacobs’s resting place was actually in the city of Hebron, almost 50 miles south of Shechem. He discovered that the owner had accepted Christianity and considered himself a “messianic Jew.” Many cups of coffee later, Mark was confused by the Israeli’s passionate arguments and fluency in Hebrew. At this point, I showed Mark the words of King Solomon, who said, “The “My door is first to bring an argument sounds right until someone comes and challenges always open him” (Proverbs 18:17). However, after Jacob died, he was buried in Hebron, “in the cave in the field of Machpelah [that is in Hebron] … which Abraham bought … as a burial place from Ephron the Hittite. Actually, it was Jacob’s son Joseph who was “buried at Shechem in the tract of land that Jacob bought for a hundred pieces of silver from the sons of Chamor” (Joshua 24:32). When Mark abruptly got up to leave, I told him, “My if you want door is always open if you want to talk.” to talk.” A few months later, Mark reached out to me. In this week’s Torah portion, Vayishlach (Genesis 32:4-36:43), we learn that Jacob “purchased a field in Shechem from the sons of Chamor” (Genesis 33:19). Furthermore, the experience had ignited a desire in Mark to reconnect to his Jewish heritage, learn Torah, and seek a meaningful relationship with God.
