Context of Genesis 33:11

9“I have enough, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what you have.” 10But Jacob said, “No, please! If I have found favor with you, take this gift from me. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing God’s face, since you have accepted me. Please take my present that was brought to you, because God has been gracious to me and I have everything I need.” So Jacob urged him until he accepted. 12Then Esau said, “Let’s move on, and I’ll go ahead of you.” 13Jacob replied, “My lord knows that the children are weak, and I have nursing flocks and herds. If they are driven hard for one day, the whole herd will die.
