Genesis 45:15 Moreover he kissed all his brothers, and wept on them: and after that his brothers talked with him. Nothing is more moving to man than the spectacle of reconciliation; our weaknesses are thus indemnified, and are not too costly, being the price we pay for the hour of forgiveness; and the archangel who has never felt anger has reason to envy the man who subdues it. When thou forgivest, the man who has pierced thy heart stands to thee in the relation of the sea-worm, that perforates the shell of the mussel, which straightway closes the wound with a pearl. (W. Richter.) Parallel Verses KJV: Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.WEB: He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them.
