13 And he said to him, My lord knoweth that the children [are] tender, and the flocks and herds with young [are] with me, and if men should over-drive them one day, all the flock will die.
14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on slowly, according as the cattle that go before me, and the children are able to endure; until I come to my lord to Seir.
15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee [some] of the people that [are] with me: And he said, What needeth it? Let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him a house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
