Genesis 45:12-15

"And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you. And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and all that ye have seen: and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither. And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept, and Benjamin wept upon his neck. And he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him."

Why all the weeping? Here is an example of weeping for joy, an emotion with which many are familiar. We believe that this is the predominant element here, and not, as claimed by some, that, "Both Joseph and his brothers were aware of the tragic consequences of hatred without a just cause."[16]
