Genesis 33:4 — Meaning and Application

And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.

And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.

And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who {are} those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant. {with...: Heb. to thee}

Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
