15 And Esau said, “Now let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.” But he said, “What need is there? aLet me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
17 And Jacob journeyed to aSuccoth, built himself a house, and made1 booths for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called2 Succoth.
