This is an old revision of the document!

'sekem' is sometimes interpreted to mean “predawn”, and sometimes “shoulder”.
The shoulder meaning probably stems from the appearance of the predawn sun hiding behind a hill, looking like a shoulder of the land. The name of the town of “Shekem” doubtless is named after this very phenomenon.
