Jacob Settles in Shechem

18 Now Jacob came safely to the city of (A)Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from (B)Paddan-aram, and camped before the city. 19 (C)He bought the piece of land where he had pitched his tent from the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred (a)pieces of money. 20 Then he erected there an altar and called it (b)El-Elohe-Israel.
