Genesis 33:16-20

Living Bible

¹⁶ So Esau started back to Seir that same day. ¹⁷ Meanwhile Jacob and his household went as far as Succoth. There he built himself a camp, with pens for his flocks and herds. (That is why the place is called Succoth, meaning “huts.”) ¹⁸ Then they arrived safely at Shechem, in Canaan, and camped outside the city. ¹⁹ (He bought the land he camped on from the family of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for 100 pieces of silver. ²⁰ And there he erected an altar and called it “El-Elohe-Israel,” “The Altar to the God of Israel.”)
