Genesis 33:6

6 et adpropinquantes ancillae et filii earum incurvati sunt

Genesis 33:6 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 33:6

Then the handmaids came near, they and their children
Being foremost, and next to, Jacob, as Bilhah and her two sons, Dan and Naphtali, and Zilpah and her two sons, Gad and Asher: and they bowed themselves;
in token of respect to Esau, as Jacob had done before them, and set them an example, and no doubt instructed them to do it.

Genesis 33:6 In-Context

4 currens itaque Esau obviam fratri suo amplexatus est eum stringensque collum et osculans flevit

5 levatisque oculis vidit mulieres et parvulos earum et ait quid sibi volunt isti et si ad te pertinent respondit parvuli sunt quos donavit mihi Deus servo tuo

6 et adpropinquantes ancillae et filii earum incurvati sunt

7 accessitque Lia cum liberis suis et cum similiter adorassent extremi Ioseph et Rahel adoraverunt

8 quaenam sunt inquit istae turmae quas obvias habui respondit ut invenirem gratiam coram domino meo
