17 But Jacob went to Succoth, where he built a house for himself and set up shelters for his animals. That's why the place is called Succoth.
18 After leaving northern Syria, Jacob arrived safely at Shechem in Canaan and set up camp outside the city.
19 The land where he camped was owned by the descendants of Hamor, the father of Shechem. So Jacob paid them 100 pieces of silver for the property,
20 then he set up his tents and built an altar there to honor the God of Israel.
