Genesis 33

Esau ran to meet Jacob and they embraced and wept, reconciling after years of separation. Jacob urged Esau to accept his gifts and Esau returned to Seir, while Jacob journeyed to Succoth and then to Shechem in Canaan. There Jacob bought a parcel of land, set up an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.
