Genesis 33:3 in Context — Genesis 33

1 Jacob leva les yeux, et regarda; et voici, Ésaü arrivait, avec quatre cents hommes. Il répartit les enfants entre Léa, Rachel, et les deux servantes.

2 Il plaça en tête les servantes avec leurs enfants, puis Léa avec ses enfants, et enfin Rachel avec Joseph.

3 Lui-même passa devant eux; et il se prosterna en terre sept fois, jusqu’à ce qu’il fût près de son frère.

4 Ésaü courut à sa rencontre; il l’embrassa, se jeta à son cou, et le baisa. Et ils pleurèrent.

5 Ésaü, levant les yeux, vit les femmes et les enfants, et il dit: Qui sont ceux que tu as là? Et Jacob répondit: Ce sont les enfants que Dieu a accordés à ton serviteur.
