Discovery BoxGenesis 43:30 
Context43:30 Joseph hurried out, for he was overcome by affection for his brother 1 and was at the point of tears. 2 So he went to his room and wept there.
Genesis 29:34
Context29:34 She became pregnant again and had another son. She said, “Now this time my husband will show me affection, 3 because I have given birth to three sons for him.” That is why he was named Levi. 4
1 tn Heb “for his affection boiled up concerning his brother.” The same expression is used in 1 Kgs 3:26 for the mother’s feelings for her endangered child.
2 tn Heb “and he sought to weep.”
3 tn Heb “will be joined to me.”
4 sn The name Levi (לֵוִי, levi), the precise meaning of which is debated, was appropriate because it sounds like the verb לָוָה (lavah, “to join”), used in the statement recorded earlier in the verse.
