Genesis 33:16-20

16So that same day Esau made his way back to Seir.

17But Jacob traveled to Succoth where he built himself a house and made shelters for his livestock. That is why the place was called Succoth.

18After he left Paddan Aram, Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and he camped near the city.

19Then he purchased the portion of the field where he had pitched his tent; he bought it from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of money.

20There he set up an altar and called it “The God of Israel is God.”
