And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh's household heard about it. The weeping that began privately in Genesis 43:30 is now loud enough for the Egyptians to hear — the third of Joseph's five recorded weepings, and the most public. The application: the grief and relief of genuine reconciliation cannot always be contained. The weeping that is heard through the walls is the weeping of a reunion too large for the room.
