Jacob and Esau Part Ways
Genesis 33:12-16
12
'Esav said, "Let's break camp and get going. I'll go first."
13
Ya'akov said to him, "My lord knows that the children are small, and the sheep and cattle suckling their young concern me, because if they overdrive them even one day, all the flocks will die.
14
Instead, please, let my lord go on ahead of his servant. I will travel more slowly, at the pace of the cattle ahead of me and at the pace of the children, until I come to my lord in Se'ir."
15
'Esav replied, "Then let me leave with you some of the people I have with me." But Ya'akov said, "There's no need for my lord to be so kind to me."
16
So 'Esav left that day to return to Se'ir.
