Genesis 33:12-14

English Standard Version

¹² Then Esau said, “Let us journey on our way, and I will go ahead of^[a] you.” ¹³ But Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are frail, and that the nursing flocks and herds are a care to me. If they are driven hard for one day, all the flocks will die. ¹⁴ Let my lord pass on ahead of his servant, and I will lead on slowly, at the pace of the livestock that are ahead of me and at the pace of the children, until I come to my lord ^(A)in Seir.”
