Jacob Settles in Canaan
Genesis 33:17-20
17
Ya'akov went on to Sukkot, where he built himself a house and put up shelters for his cattle. This is why the place is called Sukkot [shelters].
18
Having traveled from Paddan-Aram, Ya'akov arrived safely at the city of Sh'khem, in Kena'an, and set up camp near the city.
19
From the sons of Hamor Sh'khem's father he bought for one hundred pieces of silver the parcel of land where he had pitched his tent.
20
There he put up an altar, which he called El-Elohei-Yisra'el [God, the God of Isra'el].
