1And in some time after Jacob went away from the borders of the land, and he came to the land of Shalem, that is the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, and he rested in front of the city.
2And he bought a parcel of the field which was there, from the children of Hamor the people of the land, for five shekels.
3And Jacob there built himself a house, and he pitched his tent there, and he made booths for his cattle, therefore he called the name of that place Succoth.
4And Jacob remained in Succoth a year and six months.
