Story guide: Esau returns to Seir while Jacob moves slowly with his family and settles at Succoth.
Open this scene in the reader →12Then he said, “Let us set out and go, and I will go before you.”
13But he said to him, “My lord knows that the children are frail, and the flocks and herds nursing their young are under my care. If they are driven hard for one day, all the flock will die.”
14Please let my lord pass on ahead of his servant, and I will proceed slowly, at the pace of the livestock that is before me and at the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at Seir.
15Then Esau said, “Please let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.” But he said, “Why is this? Let me find favor in the eyes of my lord.”
16So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
17And Jacob traveled to Succoth, and he built a house for himself and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore he called the name of the place Succoth.
