Genesis 45:2 (KJV)

Cross-references

wept aloud. Heb. gave forth his voice in weeping."This," says Sir J. Chardin, "is exactly the genius of the people of Asia; their sentiments of joy or grief are properly transports, and their transports are ungoverned, excessive, and truly outrageous. When anyone returns from a long journey or dies, his family burst into cries that may be heard twenty doors off; and this is renewed at different times, and continues many days, according to the vigour of the passion. Sometimes they cease all at once, and then begin as suddenly, with a greater shrillness and loudness than one could easily imagine." Nu 14:1 Ru 1:9 2Ki 20:3 Ac 20:37
