And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem [or Shechem], unto the plain of Moreh"[also called "Alon Morah, the terebinth tree of Moreh]. And the Canaanite [was] then in the land.
A terebinth denotes a large tree (usually oak), and in later books of the Bible they are the groves of tree's where ritual sacrifice take place.
