1. Mosebok 33,14

Seir

12 Esau foreslo: “La oss dra av sted og gå, og jeg vil følge deg.”

13 Jakob sa: “Min herre vet at barna er svake, og jeg må ta vare på de diende flokkene og hjordene. Hvis de drives hardt en dag, vil dyrene omkomme.”

“Vær så snill, la min herre gå foran sin tjener. Jeg vil bevege meg i et rolig tempo, i henhold til buskapen og barna, til jeg kommer til min herre i Se'ir.”

15 Esau tilbød: “La meg etterlate noen av mine menn hos deg.” Men Jakob sa: “Hvorfor gjøre det? La meg finne nåde i min herres øyne.”

16 Esau dro så den dagen, og fortsatte på sin reise til Se'ir.
