Summary

In Genesis 33:7, we see the heartwarming reunion between Jacob and his brother Esau after years of separation and conflict. Jacob, filled with fear and uncertainty, approaches Esau with humility and respect, bowing down to him seven times as a sign of submission and reconciliation. This encounter showcases the power of forgiveness and the restoration of broken relationships through humility and grace. It also serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness in healing past wounds and bringing about peace between estranged individuals.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves,.... Who were in the next division or company; their children were seven, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and Dinah, six sons and one daughter: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves; it is observed that Joseph is mentioned before his mother; it may be, because they might put him before her in the procession, for greater safety; or she might present him to Esau, being a child of little more than six years of age, and teach him how to make his obeisance to him, which she also did herself.
