Genesis 33:12-20

Then Esau said, “Let us be going. I will travel with you.” But Jacob said to him, “My master, you know that the children are weak. And I must be careful with my flocks and their young ones. If I force them to go too far in one day, all the animals will die. So, my master, you go on ahead of me, your servant. I will follow you slowly and let the animals and the children set the speed at which we travel. I will meet you, my master, in Edom.” So Esau said, “Then let me leave some of my people with you.” “No, thank you,” said Jacob. “I only want to please you, my master.” So that day Esau started back to Edom. 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.
