Genesis 33:18-20

Jacob built an altar in Shechem

Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, on his way from Paddan-aram; and he camped before the city.

And from the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, he bought for one hundred pieces of money the plot of land on which he had pitched his tent.

There he erected an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
