Genesis 33:11-13

New Catholic Bible

¹¹ Accept this blessing that I give you, for God has been generous to me and I have enough.” This is the way he insisted, and Esau accepted.

¹² Then Esau said, “Let us break camp and set out; I will travel in front of you.”

¹³ But Jacob answered, “My lord knows that the children are delicate and that my flocks and herds are burdened with young ones. If they were to be pushed even one day, the entire flock would surely die.
