Genesis 33:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹ Please accept the present that was brought to you. God has given me so much. I have everything I need.” Jacob wouldn’t give in. So Esau accepted it.

¹² Then Esau said, “Let’s be on our way. I’ll go with you.”

¹³ But Jacob said to him, “You know that the children are young. You also know that I have to take care of the cows and female sheep that are feeding their little ones. If the animals are driven hard for just one day, all of them will die.
