Genesis 33:16-20

16So EsauH6215 returnedH7725 that dayH3117 on his wayH1870 to SeirH8165. 17But JacobH3290 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 plotH2513 of landH7704 whereH834H8033 he had pitchedH5186 his tentH168 from the handH3027 of the sonsH1121 of HamorH2544, Shechem’sH7927 fatherH1, for a hundredH3967 6piecesH7192 ofH7192 moneyH7192. 20Then he erectedH5324 thereH8033 an altarH4196 and calledH7121 it 7El-Elohe-IsraelH415.
