Genesis 33:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² Esau said, “Let's get ready and leave. I will go ahead of you.”

¹³ Jacob answered, “You know that the children are weak, and I must think of the sheep and livestock with their young. If they are driven hard for even one day, the whole herd will die. ¹⁴ Please go on ahead of me, and I will follow slowly, going as fast as I can with the livestock and the children until I catch up with you in Edom.”
