Genesis 33:12-14

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹² Then Esau said, ‘Let us journey on our way, and I will go alongside you.’ ¹³ But Jacob said to him, ‘My lord knows that the children are frail and that the flocks and herds, which are nursing, are a care to me; and if they are overdriven for one day, all the flocks will die. ¹⁴ Let my lord pass on ahead of his servant, and I will lead on slowly, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord in Seir.’
