Genesis 33:17-20

Genesis 33:17-20 NCV

But Jacob went to Succoth, where he built a house for himself and shelters for his animals. That is why the place was named Succoth. Jacob left Northwest Mesopotamia and arrived safely at the city of Shechem in the land of Canaan. There he camped east of the city. He bought a part of the field where he had camped from the sons of Hamor father of Shechem for one hundred pieces of silver. He built an altar there and named it after God, the God of Israel.
