創世記 37:19

19 彼 此 說 ： 你 看 ！ 那 做 夢 的 來 了 。

創世記 37:19 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 37:19

And they said one to another
According to the Targum of Jonathan, Simeon and Levi said what follows: nor is it unlikely, since they were hot, passionate, cruel, and bloody minded men, as appears by the affair of Shechem; and perhaps this may be the reason why Joseph afterwards, when governor of Egypt, took Simeon and bound him, ( Genesis 42:24 ) ; which was but a just retaliation for his advice to cast him into a pit when slain:

behold, this dreamer cometh;
or "master of dreams" ^F18; not of the interpretation of them, but of dreaming them; that had them at his command when he pleased, as they jeeringly flouted him; as if he was a framer and contriver of them, and only pretended to them when he had none, or else that he was frequently dreaming and telling his dreams; this they said in a sarcastic way, and, perhaps, as pleased, and rejoicing that such an opportunity offered to take their revenge on him: this shows that it was on the account of his dreams chiefly that they bore such a grudge against him, that this was uppermost on their minds, and was revived at first sight of him, and from whence their malice sprung.

20 來 罷 ！ 我 們 將 他 殺 了 ， 丟 在 一 個 坑 裡 ， 就 說 有 惡 獸 把 他 吃 了 。 我 們 且 看 他 的 夢 將 來 怎 麼 樣 。

21 流 便 聽 見 了 ， 要 救 他 脫 離 他 們 的 手 ， 說 ： 我 們 不 可 害 他 的 性 命 ；
