Genesi 33:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 33:15

And Esau said, let me now leave with thee [some] of the folk
that [are] with me
To show him the way, and guard him on the road, and he appear the more honourable when he entered into Seir: and he said, what needeth it?
Jacob saw not the necessity of it; he knew the direct way very probably; he thought himself in no danger, since he was at peace with Esau, and he did not affect the grandeur of an equipage: let me find grace in the sight of my lord;
having his favour and good will, that was enough for him; and among the rest of the favours he received from him, he begged this might be added, that he might be excused retaining any of his retinue with him.

Genesi 33:15 In-Context

13 E Giacobbe rispose: "Il mio signore sa che i fanciulli son di tenera età, e che ho con me delle pecore e delle vacche che allattano; se si forzassero per un giorno solo a camminare, le bestie morrebbero tutte.
14 Deh, passi il mio signore innanzi al suo servo; e io me ne verrò pian piano, al passo del bestiame che mi precederà, e al passo de’ fanciulli, finché arrivi presso al mio signore, a Seir".
15 Ed Esaù disse: "Permetti almeno ch’io lasci con te un po’ della gente che ho meco". Ma Giacobbe rispose: "E perché questo? Basta ch’io trovi grazia agli occhi del mio signore".
16 Così Esaù, in quel giorno stesso, rifece il cammino verso Seir.
17 Giacobbe partì alla volta di Succoth e edificò una casa per sé, e fece delle capanne per il suo bestiame; e per questo quel luogo fu chiamato Succoth.
