Arcana Coelestia #4716
4716. 'And he came to Shechem' means knowledge of the general aspects of doctrine. This is clear from the meaning of 'Shechem' as the broad outlines - or what amounts to the same, general aspects - of doctrine which are received first, dealt with in 4707.
Psalms 23:4
4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
