Hamor — a Hivite chief, father of Shechem, whose clan interacted with Jacob's family at Shechem
The personal name of the Hivite ruler of the city of Shechem and father of the prince Shechem who assaulted Dinah. His 13 occurrences cluster tightly in Genesis 33-34 and carry forward to Joshua 24:32 (the burial plot Jacob purchased from him) and Judges 9:28 (a later political memory). The name itself means 'donkey,' possibly reflecting a treaty-animal symbolism attested elsewhere in Semitic culture. Translations uniformly transliterate: Spanish 'Hamor/Jamor,' French 'Hamor,' German 'Hamor/Chamor.'

1. Hamor — The proper name Hamor, a Hivite chieftain of Shechem and father of the prince Shechem. Central to the Dinah narrative (Gen 34:2-26), he negotiates with Jacob's sons after his son's assault. Also named in Genesis 33:19 as the seller of the land parcel at Shechem, recalled in Joshua 24:32 as the source of Jacob's burial plot, and invoked in Judges 9:28 in a political appeal to Shechemite identity. 13×
