6566. 'And Joseph wept as they spoke to him' means reception brought about by love. This is clear from the meaning of 'weeping' as a sign indicative both of sadness and of love, dealt with in 3801, 5480, 5873, 5927, 5930; from the representation of 'Joseph' as the internal celestial, dealt with in 5805, 5826, 5827, 5869, 5877, 6177, 6224; and from the meaning of 'speaking' as influx and consequent reception, dealt with in 5797, for the influx comes from the internal celestial, which is 'Joseph', and the reception is by the truths in the natural, which are 'his brothers'. From all this it is evident that 'Joseph wept as they spoke to him' means reception brought about by love.

3801. 'And lifted up his voice and wept' means the warmth of love. This is clear from the meaning of 'lifting up the voice and weeping' as the warmth of love, for weeping is an expression of sorrow and also an expression of love, and is the highest degree of either of them.
