Génesis 37:20 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 37:20

Come now therefore, and let us slay him
Agree to do it, and actually do it:

and cast him into some pit;
or, "one of the pits" F19, which were near, and were dug for the collection of rainwater, as was usual in those countries where water was scarce:

and we will say, some evil beast hath devoured him;
which would seem plausible, since wild beasts were frequent in those parts, as lions and bears, see ( 1 Kings 13:24 ) ( 2 Kings 2:24 ) ;

and we shall see what will become of his dreams;
who will be the lord then, and reign, and have the dominion, he or we.

Génesis 37:20 In-Context

18 Cuando ellos lo vieron de lejos, y antes que se les acercara, tramaron contra él para matarlo.
19 Y se dijeron unos a otros: Aquí viene el soñador.
20 Ahora pues, venid, matémoslo y arrojémoslo a uno de los pozos; y diremos: "Una fiera lo devoró." Entonces veremos en qué quedan sus sueños.
21 Pero Rubén oyó esto y lo libró de sus manos, y dijo: No le quitemos la vida.
22 Rubén les dijo además: No derraméis sangre. Echadlo en este pozo del desierto, pero no le pongáis la mano encima. Esto dijo para poder librarlo de las manos de ellos y volverlo a su padre.
