Комментарий к Берешит 45:15
וַיְנַשֵּׁ֥ק לְכָל־אֶחָ֖יו וַיֵּ֣בְךְּ עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם וְאַ֣חֲרֵי כֵ֔ן דִּבְּר֥וּ אֶחָ֖יו אִתּֽוֹ׃
И он поцеловал всех братьев своих и заплакал на них; и после этого его братья говорили с ним.
Rashi on Genesis
ואחרי כן AND AFTER THAT — after they saw that he wept and realized that he was peaceably inclined towards them, דברו אחיו אתו HIS BRETHREN SPAKE WITH HIM — For at first they felt abashed before him.

Or HaChaim on Genesis
ויבך עליהם, He cried over them, etc. After the brothers observed Joseph crying over them they were able to respond to him and they said to him whatever was on their minds. After all, everything that Joseph had said to them up to that point might have been designed only to alleviate the brothers' feeling ashamed of their conduct. It was only after he kissed them and wept over the years they had been separate that the brothers recognised Joseph's truly good character and that he was a true brother that they were able to speak to him naturally. Whereas Joseph's original burst of weeping could have been attributed to his reunion with Benjamin, the latest burst of weeping definitely concerned his reunion with all of them.

Radak on Genesis
ויבך עליהם, but the brothers did not cry being too ashamed to do so ואחרי כן דברו אחיו אתו, seeing that he had wept and kissed them they knew that he did not harbour a grudge against them and they now asked him about what had happened to him during all the years since he had left his father’s house.

Haamek Davar on Genesis
And he kissed all his brothers and cried on them and after that etc.... That he saw them terrified when they saw that the dreams came true per his prophesy. And that (they thought) after this maybe Joseph interprets the dream of eleven starts bowing to him as a permanent state, that hashem decreed them all his slaves (in perpetuity). After this they could not speak to him face to face. But he showed them by kissing them and crying as one brother does over another. They understood that he interpreted his dreams as having already been fulfilled and that he no longer believed he was their master, God Forbid. And now they spoke to him.
