Genesis 33:12-20

Then Esau said, “Let’s start out on our journey, and I’ll walk alongside you.” But Jacob replied, “My lord, you can see how tired the children are, and all our flocks and herds are nursing their young. If we drive them too hard for even a day, they will die. Please, my lord, go ahead of your servant. Let me move along slowly with my flocks and herds, to give them a chance to graze. I must think of my children, too, so go ahead of me, my lord, until I catch up with you in Seir.” Esau said, “Well, at least let me leave you with some of my men.” “You’re so kind,” Jacob replied, “but there’s no need to do so.” So that very day Esau and his men left to return to Seir, but Jacob went the opposite direction to Succoth instead, and built himself a house there. He also built shelters for his livestock, and that is why Jacob named the place Succoth. Jacob’s journey home from Paddan-Aram finally brought him safe and sound to the Canaanite city of Shechem, where he camped just outside of the city. He purchased the field where he pitched his tent from the clan of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of silver. There he set up an altar and named it To the True God, the God of Israel.
