And he said, let us take our journey, and let us go
To Seir, where Esau lived, and whither he invited Jacob to stop a while, and refresh himself and his family: and I will go before thee;
to show him the way to his palace, and to protect him on the road from all dangers; or "besides thee" F17, alongside of him, keeping equal pace with him, thereby showing great honour and respect, as well as in order to converse with him as they, travelled.
