Thematic Bible: Journeys to shalem, where he purchase a parcel of ground from hamor and erects an altar


Thematic Bible



So Jacob came safely from Paddan-aram to the town of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and put up his tents near the town. And for a hundred bits of money he got from the children of Hamor, the builder of Shechem, the field in which he had put up his tents. And there he put up an altar, naming it El, the God of Israel.
