Verse 2
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." Numbers 14:1, Ruth 1:9, 2 Kings 20:3, Acts 20:37
Reciprocal: Genesis 29:11 - kissed Genesis 33:4 - embraced Genesis 45:15 - Moreover 2 Kings 8:11 - wept
