Genesis 33:11-17

Genesis 33:11-17 TPT

please accept the blessing I have brought to you, for God has poured his grace over me, and I have everything I want!” So with these words Jacob urged him, and Esau accepted the gifts. Then Esau said, “Let’s start out on our journey, and I’ll walk alongside you.” But Jacob replied, “My lord, you can see how tired the children are, and all our flocks and herds are nursing their young. If we drive them too hard for even a day, they will die. Please, my lord, go ahead of your servant. Let me move along slowly with my flocks and herds, to give them a chance to graze. I must think of my children, too, so go ahead of me, my lord, until I catch up with you in Seir.” Esau said, “Well, at least let me leave you with some of my men.” “You’re so kind,” Jacob replied, “but there’s no need to do so.” So that very day Esau and his men left to return to Seir, but Jacob went the opposite direction to Succoth instead, and built himself a house there. He also built shelters for his livestock, and that is why Jacob named the place Succoth.
