Jewish History: Biblical History: The Yeshiva of Shem and Ever:
Where was the Yeshiva of Shem and Ever?
Shem (the son of Noah) is traditionally identified with Melchi-zedek, who
was king of Shalem (Jerusalem) in Abraham's time (Gen. 14:18). Assuming
he was still there in Jacob's time, his Yeshiva was in Jerusalem. Ever
was Shem's great-grandson (Gen. 10:22-24,11:10-14), but they were
contemporaries. Ever was born when Shem was 165, but Shem lived to 600,
and Ever only to 464.
