Genesis 33:12-14

Modern English Version

¹² Then Esau said, “Let us journey on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”

¹³ But Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are weak, and the flocks and herds with young are with me. If they are driven too hard one day, all the flock will die. ¹⁴ Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on slowly, according to the pace of the livestock that goes before me and the pace the children will be able to endure, until I come to my lord at Seir.”
