Genesis 33:12-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹² Then [Esau] said, Let us get started on our journey, and I will go before you.

¹³ But Jacob replied, You know, my lord, that the children are tender and delicate and need gentle care, and the flocks and herds with young are of concern to me; for if the men should overdrive them for a single day, the whole of the flocks would die.

¹⁴ Let my lord, I pray you, pass over before his servant; and I will lead on slowly, governed by [consideration for] the livestock that set the pace before me and the endurance of the children, ^[a]until I come to my lord in Seir.
