La Genèse 45:16 Commentaire : Rashi, Ramban, Sforno & Or HaChaim

וְהַקֹּ֣ל נִשְׁמַ֗ע בֵּ֤ית פַּרְעֹה֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר בָּ֖אוּ אֲחֵ֣י יוֹסֵ֑ף וַיִּיטַב֙ בְּעֵינֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֔ה וּבְעֵינֵ֖י עֲבָדָֽיו׃

Or, le bruit s’était répandu à la cour de Pharaon, savoir: les frères de Joseph sont venus; ce qui avait plu à Pharaon et à ses serviteurs.

Rashi on Genesis

והקל נשמע בית פרעה AND THE FAME THEREOF WAS HEARD IN PHARAOH’S HOUSE — It is the same as בבית, in the house of Pharaoh and here it denotes the actual house (cp. 45:2).

Ramban on Genesis

JOSEPH’s BRETHREN ARE COME. The intent thereof is that Joseph told the house of Pharaoh that he had honorable brothers in the land of the Hebrews, for he had been stolen away from there,51See above, 40:15. and now the Egyptians heard that Joseph’s brothers had come as he said.

Sforno on Genesis

This was good in the eyes of Pharaoh. He reasoned that if Yoseif’s family settled there he would have more of a stake in the country’s welfare and would perform his duties more diligently.
