[edit]I reverted these recent changes:[1] they were all changes made without bringing any new sources to support the changes. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 00:11, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
Just to mention: This alleged source actually says something different: "A Palestinian mound, or tell, as it is called by the Arabs in accordance with immemorial Semitic usage,...". Zerotalk 11:23, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
Joshua 24:25 reference is lacking...
[edit]Why no reference to Joshua 24:25?
As both Erenst Sellin (1926) and G. Erenest Wright (1956) both concluded that Tel Balata was the site of the temple El-berith in the city of Shechem based on the story of Joshua "standing up stones" as a covenant between God and the House of Israel, it seems odd that no reference is made to this in this article.
Assuming that Wikipedia is reluctant to use the Bible as a source, it is still a fact that Tel Balata was determined to be Shechem based on the standing stones/temple that was found there and the biblical narrative.
