Genesis 33:2-7

2He put the maids and their children 1in front, and Leah and her children 2next, and Rachel and Joseph 3last. 3But he himself passed on ahead of them and 4bowed down to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

4Then Esau ran to meet him and embraced him, and 5fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept. 5He lifted his eyes and saw the women and the children, and said, “6Who are these with you?” So he said, “7The children whom God has graciously given your servant.” 6Then the maids came near 8with their children, and they bowed down. 7Leah likewise came near with her children, and they bowed down; and afterward Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed down.
