Context
11Tafadhali ukubali zawadi iliyoletwa kwako, kwa kuwa Mungu amenineemesha na ninavyo vyote ninavyohitaji.” Kwa sababu Yakobo alisisitiza, Esau akapokea. 12Ndipo Esau akasema, “Na tuendelee na safari, nitakuwa pamoja nawe.” 13Lakini Yakobo akamwambia, “Bwana wangu unajua kwamba watoto ni wachanga na kwamba ni lazima nitunze hawa kondoo wake na ngʼombe wanaonyonyesha. Wakipelekwa kwa haraka hata kama ni kwa siku moja tu, wanyama wote watakufa. 14Hivyo bwana wangu umtangulie mtumishi wako, wakati mimi nikija polepole kwa mwendo wa makundi yaliyo mbele yangu na mwendo wa watoto, mpaka nifike kwa bwana wangu huko Seiri.” 15Esau akamwambia, “Basi na niwaache baadhi ya watu wangu pamoja nawe.”
Yakobo akauliza, “Lakini kwa nini ufanye hivyo, niache tu nipate kibali machoni pa bwana wangu.”
