“So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.”
Then he sent his brothers away, and as they were leaving he said to them: don't quarrel on the way! The parting instruction — don't quarrel on the way — is simultaneously practical wisdom and theological observation: the brothers have just been forgiven and reconciled; they should not use the journey home to relitigate who is to blame. The application: the instruction to those leaving a moment of grace is the instruction not to undo the grace in the aftermath. Don't quarrel on the way.
