16So EsauH6215 returnedH7725 that dayH3117 on his wayH1870 to SeirH8165. 17JacobH3290 journeyedH5265 to 12SuccothH5523, and builtH1129 for himself a houseH1004 and madeH6213 boothsH5521 for his livestockH4735; thereforeH5921H3651 the placeH4725 is namedH7121H8034 SuccothH5523.

18Now JacobH3290 cameH935 safelyH8003 to the cityH5892 of 3ShechemH7927, whichH834 is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, when he cameH935 from 4Paddan-aramH6307, and campedH2583 beforeH6440 the cityH5892. 195He boughtH7069 the pieceH2513 of landH2513 whereH834H8033 he had pitchedH5186 his tentH168 from the handH3027 of the sonsH1121 of HamorH2544, Shechem’sH7927 fatherH1, for one hundredH3967 6piecesH7192 of moneyH7192. 20Then he erectedH5324 thereH8033 an altarH4196 and calledH7121 it 7El-Elohe-IsraelH415.
