Genesis 33:16-20

16So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir. 17Jacob journeyed to 12Succoth, and built for himself a house and made booths for his livestock; therefore the place is named Succoth.

18Now Jacob came safely to the city of 3Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from 4Paddan-aram, and camped before the city. 195He bought the piece of land where he had pitched his tent from the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred 6pieces of money. 20Then he erected there an altar and called it 7El-Elohe-Israel.
