Bible Verses About Jacob: Journeys to Shalem, where he purchases a parcel of ground from Hamor, and erects an altar

And Jacob cometh in to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and encampeth before the city,

and he buyeth the portion of the field where he hath stretched out his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for a hundred kesitah;

and he setteth up there an altar, and proclaimeth at it God--the God of Israel.
