And Jacob sendeth messengers before him unto Esau his brother, towards the land of Seir, the field of Edom,

'And the people command thou, saying, Ye are passing over into the border of your brethren, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, and they are afraid of you; and ye have been very watchful, ye do not strive with them, for I do not give to you of their land even the treading of the sole of a foot; for a possession to Esau I have given mount Seir.

And in Seir have the Horim dwelt formerly; and the sons of Esau dispossess them, and destroy them from before them, and dwell in their stead, as Israel hath done to the land of his possession, which Jehovah hath given to them;

And Edom hath been a possession, And Seir hath been a possession, for its enemies, And Israel is doing valiantly;

as He hath done for the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, when He destroyed the Horim from before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead, unto this day.

Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant, and I -- I lead on gently, according to the foot of the work which is before me, and to the foot of the children, until that I come unto my lord, to Seir.'

And turn back on that day doth Esau on his way to Seir;

and Esau dwelleth in mount Seir: Esau is Edom. And these are births of Esau, father of Edom, in mount Seir.
