Genesis 33:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² Then Esau said, “Let us be going. I will travel with you.”

¹³ But Jacob said to him, “My ·master [^Llord], you know that the children are ·weak [soft; frail]. And I must be careful with my flocks ·and their young ones [^Land herds that are nursing]. If I ·force them to go too far [push them too fast] in one day, ·all the animals [the entire flock] will die. ¹⁴ So, my ·master [lord], you ·go [pass] on ahead of me, your servant. I will follow you slowly and let the animals and the children set the speed at which we travel. I will meet you, my ·master [lord], in ·Edom [^LSeir; 14:6].”
