33:18 Ya’akov begins to settle at Shekem

18 Then Ya’akov (Jacob), having come from Padan -Aram, arrived peacefully at the city of Shekem in the Kena’an (Canaan) region, and he camped outside the city. 19 In due course, he bought the portion of the field where he’d pitched his tents from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shekem, for a hundred pieces of silver.[ref] 20 He set up an altar there and he named it ‘El Elohe Yisrael’ (Israel) (which means ‘God, the god of Yisrael’).
