Genesis 33:20 in context

The verses around it, from Genesis 33.

16 So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,

17 but Jacob went on to Succoth, where he built a house for himself and shelters for his livestock; that is why the place was called Succoth.

18 After Jacob had come from Paddan-aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and he camped just outside the city.

19 And the plot of ground where he pitched his tent, he purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver.

20 There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
