Esau offered to accompany them on their way back to Israel, but Jacob protested that his children were still young and tender ( born 6 to 13 years prior in the narrative ); Jacob suggested eventually catching up with Esau at Mount Seir.
According to the Sages, this was a prophetic reference to the End of Days, when Jacob's descendants will come to Mount Seir, the home of Edom, to deliver judgment against Esau's descendants for persecuting them throughout the millennia ( see Obadiah 1: 21 ).
Jacob actually diverted himself to Succoth and was not recorded as rejoining Esau until, at Machpelah, the two bury their father Isaac, who lived to 180 and was 60 years older than them.
