The New Testament reaffirms this tradition: "Their (Jacob and his family) bodies were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a certain sum of money" (Acts 7:16).
Perjanjian Baru menegaskan tradisi ini: "Jenazahnya (Yakub) dibawa kembali ke Sikhem dan ditempatkan dalam makam yang dibeli oleh Abraham dari putra-putra Hamor di Sikhem dengan jumlah uang tertentu" (Kisah Para Rasul 7:16).
