Shechem was a son of Gilead and grandson of Manasseh, the son of Joseph. He was the ancestor of the Shechemite clan within the tribe of Manasseh (Num.26.31). When the land of Canaan was allotted to the Israelites, the Shechemites received their inheritance as part of the half-tribe of Manasseh that settled west of the Jordan (Jos.17.2). The Shechemites are mentioned again in the census list of Num.26.31.
