When Jacob understood that his brother was near, he ordered his wives
to go before, each by herself, with the handmaids, that they might see
the actions of the men as they were fighting, if Esau were so disposed.
He then went up to his brother Esau, and bowed down to him, who had no
evil design upon him, but saluted him; and asked him about the company
of the children and of the women; and desired, when he had understood all
he wanted to know about them, that he would go along with him to their
father; but Jacob pretending that the cattle were weary, Esau returned
to Seir, for there was his place of habitation, he having named the place
Roughness, from his own hairy roughness.
