Heb. gave forth his voice in weeping."This," says Sir J. Chardin, "is exactly the genius of the people of Asia; their sentiments of joy or grief are properly transports, and their transports are ungoverned, excessive, and truly outrageous. When anyone returns from a long journey or dies, his family burst into cries that may be heard twenty doors off; and this is renewed at different times, and continues many days, according to the vigour of the passion. Sometimes they cease all at once, and then begin as suddenly, with a greater shrillness and loudness than one could easily imagine."

Hence the persons, and even the very name of shepherds were execrated, and held in the greatest odium by the Egyptians. 43:32; Ex 8:26Genesis 47:1-10
