Genesis 33:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ Esau replied, “Let me leave some of my men with you.”

“You don't have to do that,” Jacob answered. “I am happy, simply knowing that you are friendly to me.”

¹⁶ So Esau left for Edom. ¹⁷ But Jacob went to Succoth,^[a] where he built a house for himself and set up shelters for his animals. That's why the place is called Succoth.
