Ver. 7. And he asked Pharaoh’s officers, &c.] Vincula qui sensit, didicit succurrere vinctis. Joseph’s tender heart soon yearned toward them, upon the sight of their sadness: and, unasked, he offers himself to them; as our Saviour did to the widow of Nain, and to those two doubting disciples, Luk_24:17.

I weep with those that weep, and am like affected, as if like afflicted.
