missing one or two prepositions. There are several possible translations for this verse depending on where the preposition or prepositions are placed. One possible translation is "and Ya'aqov came to Shalem, a city of Shekhem." Another possible translation is "and Ya'aqov came in completeness to the city of Shekhem" (the word Shalem would be a noun rather than a proper name). Another is "and Ya'aqov of Shalem came to the city of Shekhem" (nowhere does the text suggest that Ya'aqov is from Shalem which would invalidate this translation).) אֲשֶׁר       a'sher WHICH בְּאֶרֶץ       bê'e'rets in~LAND כְּנַעַן       kê'na'an Kena'an בְּבֹאוֹ       bê'vo'o in~>~COME (Verb)~him מִפַּדַּן־אֲרָם       mi'pa'dan-a'ram from~Padan-Aram וַיִּחַן       wai'yi'hhan and~he~will~CAMP (Verb) אֶת       et AT פְּנֵי       pê'ney FACE~s הָעִיר       ha'ir the~CITY Genesis 33:19 and he purchased a parcel of the field, where he stretched there his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hhamor, the father of Shekhem, with a hundred qeshiytah, וַיִּקֶן       wai'yi'qen and~he~will~PURCHASE (Verb) אֶת       et AT חֶלְקַת       hhel'qat PARCEL הַשָּׂדֶה       ha'sa'deh the~FIELD אֲשֶׁר       a'sher WHICH נָטָה       na'tah he~did~EXTEND (Verb) שָׁם       sham THERE אָהֳלוֹ       a'ha'lo TENT~him מִיַּד       mi'yad from~HAND בְּנֵי       bê'ney SON~s חֲמוֹר       hha'mor DONKEY אֲבִי       a'vi FATHER~of שְׁכֶם       shê'khem Shekhem בְּמֵאָה       bê'mey'ah in~HUNDRED קְשִׂיטָה       qê'si'tah QESHIYTAH Genesis 33:20 and he caused to stand erect an altar there and he called out to him, El-Elohey-Yisra'el, וַיַּצֶּב       wai'ya'tsev and~he~will~make~STAND.UP (Verb) שָׁם       sham THERE מִזְבֵּחַ       miz'bey'ahh ALTAR וַיִּקְרָא       wai'yiq'ra and~he~will~CALL.OUT (Verb) לוֹ       lo to~~him אֵל־אֱלֹהֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל       eyl-e'lo'hey-yis'ra'eyl El-Elohey-Yisra'el
