Genesis 33:12-20

12Then Esau said, “Let’s get ready to go, and I’ll go with you.”

13Jacob said to him, “Sir, you know that the children are frail and that I have to take care of the flocks and cattle that are nursing their young. If they’re driven too hard for even one day, all the flocks will die.

14Go ahead of me, sir. I will slowly and gently guide the herds that are in front of me at their pace and at the children’s pace until I come to you in Seir.”

15Esau said, “Then let me leave some of my men with you.” “Why do that?” Jacob asked. “I only want to win your favor, sir.”

16That day Esau started back to Seir.

17But Jacob moved on to Succoth, where he built a house for himself and made shelters for his livestock. That is why the place is named Succoth [Shelters].

18So having come from Paddan Aram, Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem in Canaan. He camped within sight of the city.

19Then he bought the piece of land on which he had put up his tents. He bought it from the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for 100 pieces of silver.

20He set up an altar there and named it God Is the God of Israel.
