Commentary on Genesis 45:1

Theological / Devotional

Then Joseph could not refrain. Judah’s appeal did not fail to impress Joseph. His speech had shown the most tender affection for their aged father, the most devoted brotherly love and faithfulness to the only remaining son of Rachel, and had given ample evidence of the change of heart that had taken place in all of them. Recognizing this, Joseph could not restrain himself longer. Wishing to be alone with his brothers while he revealed his identity to them, and feeling that he could not keep back his tears, he ordered all his attendants to leave the room.
