Genesi 37:5 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 37:5

And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told [it] his brethren,
&c.] As a dream, in the simplicity of his heart; not understanding it, or imagining there was any meaning in it; he told it not with any design to affront them, but as an amusement, and for their diversion, there being something in it odd and ridiculous, as he himself might think:

and they hated him yet the more;
not only because he had carried an ill report of them to his father, and because he loved him more than they, but still more because of this dream; the meaning of which they at once understood, though he did not, which yet they supposed he did, and that he told them it in a boasting manner, and to irritate them.

Genesi 37:5 In-Context

3 Or Israele amava Giuseppe più che tutti gli altri suoi figliuoli; perciocchè gli era nato nella sua vecchiezza, e gli fece una giubba vergata.
4 E i suoi fratelli, veggendo che il padre loro l’amava più che tutti i suoi fratelli, l’odiavano, e non potevano parlar con lui in pace.
5 E Giuseppe sognò un sogno, ed egli lo raccontò a’ suoi fratelli; ed essi l’odiarono vie maggiormente.
6 Egli adunque disse loro: Deh! udite questo sogno che io ho sognato.
7 Ecco, noi legavamo i covoni in mezzo di un campo; ed ecco, il mio covone si levò su, ed anche si tenne ritto; ed ecco, i vostri covoni furon d’intorno al mio covone, e gli s’inchinarono.
