	The Holy Lands - Jacob's Well at Sychar
		The well, from which Jesus once asked a Samaritan woman for a drink, is fed by underground springs, and its water is fresh and cool.
		The Genesis saga does say that Jacob purchased land at the village of Shechem, modern Nablus, very near this Samarian site of Sychar, now known as Askar (Gen. 23:18-20; see Joshua 24:32; John 4:5).
		But that is a story for another day.

	Sychar - Walking in Their Sandals - location profile
		The road south from Sychar became the Ridge Road, the "Patriarch’s Highway," that led to Hebron and Beersheba.
		The possibility of identifying Sychar with ancient Shechem has also been eliminated by the positive identification of Tell Balatah as the site of Shechem that was destroyed, probably by Hyrcanus, in 107 B.C. No Roman remains have been found there, an indication that it was not occupied when Jesus and His disciples visited Samaria.
		The village of Sychar, nestled against the southeastern slope of Mount Ebal, overlooked the stage of an historic drama (John 4:3-42).

	Urantia Book, Paper 143: Section 5 -- The Woman Of Sychar
		The water of Jacob's well was less mineral than that from the wells of Sychar and was therefore much valued for drinking purposes.
		When, therefore, a woman of Sychar came up with her water pitcher and prepared to draw from the well, Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink." This woman of Samaria knew Jesus was a Jew by his appearance and dress, and she surmised that he was a Galilean Jew from his accent.
		She had lived with four different men since her husband cast her aside, and this, with all her past, came up so vividly in her mind at the moment when she realized Jesus was a man of God that she subsequently repeated to John that Jesus had really told her all about herself.

		But turning their eyes toward Sychar, the disciples could see the citizens of the town in their white garments pouring forth to see Jesus, and to be gathered by him as a harvest of disciples which had sprung up and ripened from the seeds of truth sown by the woman but a few moments before.
		To the thoughtful they were signs or attestations that the one who performed them acted under the authority and approval of God; to all others they were mere wonders, which startled by their strangeness.

	Philologos \| The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah \| Appendix 15
		If further proof were required, it would be sufficient to say that a woman would scarcely have gone a mile and a half from Shechem to Jacob's well to fetch water, when there are so many springs about the former city.
		In these circumstances, later writers have generally fixed upon the village of 'Askar, half a mile from Jacob's Well, and within sight of it, as the Sychar of the New Testament, one of the earliest to advocate this view having been the late learned Canon Williams.
		The transformation of the name Sychar into 'Askar is explained, either by a contraction of 'Ain 'Askar 'the well of Sychar,' or else by the fact that in the Samaritan Chronicle the place is called Iskar, which seems to have been the vulgar pronunciation of Sychar.

	Discussion: 41. Here is Jacob's well
		The text in John connects the well with the city of Sychar (John 4:5), but opinions on the identification of this town are divided between those who see in the place-name the modern town of Askar located N of this well and others who associate Sychar with Shechem.
		Two of the most-frequently used arguments are the alleged corruption of Sychar to Shechem, and the text of Genesis 33:18 which mentions Jacob as having dwelt before the city, i.e., to the E of it.
		The village in question is called Sychar in the Gospel, and its identification is not certain.

	Samaritan Woman
		It was here that his daughter was raped by the men of Shechem (about a mile from Sychar), and where his sons killed the Shechemites.
		The woman who was hardly noticed by the disciples has opened her mouth in a weak and human way; and that plus the common grace ministry of God the Holy Spirit is more than enough to impel the people.
		A genuine revival welled up in Sychar on account of this woman who believed and was willing to give the gospel, no matter how weak the presentation.
