Genesis 33:12-16

12Then 1Esau said, “Let’s journey on and go, and I will go ahead of you.” 13But he said to him, “My lord knows that the children are frail and that the flocks and herds that are nursing are 2a matter of concern to me. And if they are driven hard just one day, all the flocks will die. 14Please let my lord pass on ahead of his servant, and I will proceed at my leisure, at the pace of the cattle that are ahead of me and at the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at 3Seir.”

15Then Esau said, “Please let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.” But he said, “4What need is there? 5Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.” 16So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
