Genesis 33:16-20

« Gen 32Gen 33Gen 34 »

16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir. 17 But Jacob journeyed to ¹^aSuccoth and built for himself a house and made booths for his livestock; therefore the place is named Succoth.

Jacob Camps in Shechem

18 Now Jacob came safely to the city of ^aShechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from ^bPaddan-aram, and he camped before the city. 19 ^aThen he bought a portion of a field where he had pitched his tent from the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred ¹qesitah. 20 Then he set up there an altar and called it ¹El-Elohe-Israel.
