6034. And wept upon his necks a long while. That this signifies mercy, is evident from the signification of "weeping," as being mercy (see n. 5480, 5873, 5927). It is said "upon his necks a long while," because the beginning and also the continuance of conjunction is mercy, namely, the mercy of the Lord who in the supreme sense is "Joseph."
