Genèse 33:2 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 33:2

And he put the handmaids and their children foremost
In the first division, as being less honourable and less beloved by him: and Leah and her children after;
still according to the degree of honour and affection due unto them; Leah being a wife that was imposed and forced upon him: and Rachel and Joseph hindermost;
being most beloved by him, and therefore most careful of them; Rachel being his principal and lawful wife, and who had the greatest share in his affection, and Joseph his only child by her.

Genèse 33:2 In-Context

1 Et Jacob leva les yeux et regarda. Et voici, Ésaü venait, et quatre cents hommes avec lui. Alors il répartit les enfants entre Léa, Rachel, et les deux servantes.
2 Et il plaça en tête les servantes et leurs enfants; Léa et ses enfants ensuite, et Rachel et Joseph au dernier rang.
3 Quant à lui, il passa devant eux, et se prosterna en terre sept fois, jusqu'à ce qu'il se fût approché de son frère.
4 Mais Ésaü courut au-devant de lui, et l'embrassa, et se jeta à son cou, et le baisa, et ils pleurèrent.
5 Puis il leva les yeux, et vit les femmes et les enfants, et il dit: Qui as-tu là? Et il répondit: Ce sont les enfants que Dieu a accordés à ton serviteur.
