 However, Jacob evidently does not trust his brother's favour to continue for long so he makes excuses to avoid traveling to Mount Seir in Esau's company (), and he further evades Esau's attempt to put his own men among Jacob's bands (), and finally completes the deception of his brother yet again by going to Succoth and then to Shalem, a city of Shechem, instead of following Esau at a distance to Seir ().The next time Jacob and Esau meet is at the burial of their father, Isaac, in Hebron ().The so-called reconciliation is thus only superficial and temporary.
