12And he said, Let us go on our journey together, and I will go in front.
13But Jacob said, My lord may see that the children are only small, and there are young ones in my flocks and herds: one day's over-driving will be the destruction of all the flock.
14Do you, my lord, go on before your servant; I will come on slowly, at the rate at which the cattle and the children are able to go, till I come to my lord at Seir.
15And Esau said, Then keep some of my men with you. And he said, What need is there for that, if my lord is pleased with me?
16So Esau, turning back that day, went on his way to Seir.
17And Jacob went on to Succoth, where he made a house for himself and put up tents for his cattle: for this reason the place was named Succoth.
18So Jacob came safely from Paddan-aram to the town of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and put up his tents near the town.
