He-ass, a Hivite from whom Jacob purchased the plot of ground in which Joseph was afterwards buried ([Gen. 33:19](/gen#Gen.33.19)). He is called “Emmor” in [Acts 7:16](/acts#Acts.7.16). His son Shechem founded the city of that name which Simeon and Levi destroyed because of his crime in the matter of Dinah, Jacob’s daughter ([Gen. 34:20](/gen#Gen.34.20)). Hamor and Shechem were also slain (ver. 26).
