SHALEM . In Genesis 33:13 we read ‘Jacob (on his return from Haran) came to Shalem a city of Shechem’ (RV [Note: Revised Version.] reads ‘in peace to the city of Shechem’; so Luther in his German translation). The word shalem means ‘peace,’ and the preposition b ‘in’ may have fallen out owing to the final letter of Jacob. Otherwise we must suppose Shalem to be a small town (in the neighbourhood of Shechem), which has been identified with a village called Salim .
