Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 33:5-15

We have here the discourse between the two brothers at their meeting, which is very free and friendly, without the least intimation of the old quarrel. It was the best way to say nothing of it. They converse, I. About Jacob's retinue, Gen. 33:5-7. Eleven or twelve little ones, the eldest of them not fourteen years old, followed Jacob closely: Who are these? says Esau. Jacob had sent him an account of the increase of his estate (Gen. 32:5), but made no mention of his children; perhaps because... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 33:5

And he lift up his eyes, and saw the women and children ,.... After the salutation had passed between him and his brother Jacob, he looked, and saw behind him women and children, Jacob's two wives and his two handmaids, and twelve children he had by them: and said, who are those with thee ? who do those women and children belong to that follow thee? for Jacob had made no mention of his wives and children, when he sent his messengers to him, Genesis 32:5 ; and therefore Esau might... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 33:5

Verse 5 5.And he lifted up his eyes. Moses relates the conversation held between the brothers. And as Esau had testified his fraternal affection by tears and embraces, there is no doubt that he inquires after the children in a spirit of congratulation. The answer of Jacob breathes piety as well as modesty; for when he replies, that his numerous seed had been given him by God, he acknowledges and confesses that children are not so produced by nature as to subvert the truth of the declaration,... read more

The fruits of prayer. The " prince " who has been lifted by the grace of God out of the humiliation of his fear and shame to the height of his favor at the throne of the Most High now reveals his princely power.

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 33:5

And he ( i . e . Esau) lifted up his eyes ,—corresponding to the act of Jacob ( Genesis 33:1 ), and expressive of surprise— and saw the women and the children; and said, Who art those with thee? (literally, to thee, i.e. whom thou hast). And he (Jacob) said, The children which God (Elohim; vide infra on Genesis 33:10 ) hath graciously given —the verb חָנַן being construed with a double accusative, as in 21:22 ; Psalms 19:1-14 :29— thy servant. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 33:5

Genesis 33:5. Who are these with thee? Jacob had sent Esau an account of the increase of his estate, but had made no mention of his children, perhaps because he would not expose them to his rage if he should meet him as an enemy. Esau, therefore, had reason to make this inquiry: to which Jacob returned a serious answer: They are the children which God hath graciously given thy servant He speaks of his children as God’s gifts; a heritage of the Lord, and as choice gifts, graciously ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 33:1-17

Meeting with Esau (33:1-17)Jacob may have had a dramatic spiritual experience with God, but he still had to face Esau the next day. He took precautions to protect his family against any possible hostility, then went ahead to meet Esau personally (33:1-3). Esau showed a generous spirit of forgiveness, with the result that the dreaded meeting proved to be a happy reunion. Jacob had gained Esau’s birthright and blessing by cunning and deceit, but he was not allowed to enjoy them fully till he... read more
