Genesis 33:5 - Exposition

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.
