Genesis 45:2

45:2 He wept loudly; the Egyptians heard it and Pharaoh’s household heard about it.

Genesis 45:14-15

45:14 Then he threw himself on the neck of his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck. 45:15 He kissed all his brothers and wept over them. After this his brothers talked with him.


tn Heb “and he gave his voice in weeping,” meaning that Joseph could not restrain himself and wept out loud.

tn Heb “and the Egyptians heard and the household of Pharaoh heard.” Presumably in the latter case this was by means of a report.
