9. But Esau said, “You don’t have to give me gifts, brother. I have enough for myself.”
10. Jacob said, “No, I beg you! If you really accept me, please accept the gifts I give you. I am very happy to see your face again. It is like seeing the face of God. I am very happy to see that you accept me.
11. So I beg you to also accept the gifts I give you. God has been very good to me. I have more than I need.” Because Jacob begged Esau to take the gifts, he accepted them.
12. Then Esau said, “Now you can continue your journey. I will go with you.”
13. But Jacob said to him, “You know that my children are weak. And I must be careful with my flocks and their young animals. If I force them to walk too far in one day, all the animals will die.
14. So you go on ahead. I will follow you slowly. I will go slowly enough for the cattle and other animals to be safe and so that my children will not get too tired. I will meet you in Seir.”
15. So Esau said, “Then I will leave some of my men to help you.” But Jacob said, “That is very kind of you, but there is no need to do that.”
