Genesis 33:3 in Context — Genesis 33

1 Y ALZANDO Jacob sus ojos miró, y he aquí venía Esaú, y los cuatrocientos hombres con él: entonces repartió él los niños entre Lea y Rachêl y las dos siervas.

2 Y puso las siervas y sus niños delante; luego á Lea y á sus niños; y á Rachêl y á José los postreros.

3 Y él pasó delante de ellos, é inclinóse á tierra siete veces, hasta que llegó á su hermano.

4 Y Esaú corrió á su encuentro, y abrazóle, y echóse sobre su cuello, y le besó; y lloraron.

5 Y alzó sus ojos, y vió las mujeres y los niños, y dijo: ¿Qué te tocan éstos? Y él respondió: Son los niños que Dios ha dado á tu siervo.
