"Pleaseh4994 takeh3947 my  1 agifth1293 whichh834 has been broughth935 to you,  bbecauseh3588 Godh430 has dealth2603a graciouslyh2603a with me and becauseh3588 I haveh3426  2plentyh3605." Thus he urgedh6484 him and he tookh3947 it.

Then  1Esau saidh559, "Let us takeh5265 our journeyh5265 and goh1980, and I will goh1980 beforeh5048 you."

13

But he saidh559 to him, "My lordh113 knowsh3045 that the childrenh3206 are frailh7390 and that the flocksh6629 and herdsh1241 which are nursingh5763 are  1a careh5921 to me. And if they are drivenh1849 hardh1849 oneh259 dayh3117, allh3605 the flocksh6629 will dieh4191.

14

"Pleaseh4994 let my lordh113 passh5674a on beforeh6440 his servanth5650, and I will proceedh5095 at my leisureh328, according to the paceh7272 of the cattleh4399 that are beforeh6440 me and according to the paceh7272 of the childrenh3206, untilh5704h834 I comeh935 to my lordh113 at  aSeirh8165."

15

Esauh6215 saidh559, "Pleaseh4994 let me leaveh3322 with you someh4480 of the peopleh5971a whoh834 are with me." But he saidh559, " 1Whath4100 need is there?  aLet me findh4672 favorh2580 in the sighth5869 of my lordh113."

16

So Esauh6215 returnedh7725 that dayh3117 on his wayh1870 to Seirh8165.
