Genesi 37:5-11

Listen to Genesi 37:5-11
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.
8 E i suoi fratelli gli dissero: Regneresti tu pur sopra noi? signoreggeresti tu pur sopra noi? Essi adunque l’odiarono vie maggiormente per i suoi sogni, e per le sue parole.
9 Ed egli sognò ancora un altro sogno, e lo raccontò a’ suoi fratelli, dicendo: Ecco, io ho sognato ancora un sogno: ed ecco, il sole, e la luna, ed undici stelle, mi s’inchinavano.
10 Ed egli lo raccontò a suo padre, e a’ suoi fratelli. E suo padre lo sgridò, e gli disse: Quale è questo sogno che tu hai sognato? avremo noi, io, e tua madre, e i tuoi fratelli, pure a venire ad inchinarci a te a terra?
11 E i suoi fratelli gli portavano invidia; ma suo padre riserbava appo sè queste parole.

Genesi 37:5-11 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 37

In this chapter begins the history of Joseph, with whom the remaining part of this book is chiefly concerned; and here are related the hatred of his brethren to him, because he brought an ill report of them to his father, and because his father loved him, and which was increased by the dream he dreamed, and told them of, Ge 37:1-11; a visit of his to his brethren in the fields, whom he found after a long search of them, Ge 37:12-17; their conspiracy on sight of him to slay him, but by the advice of Reuben it was agreed to cast him into a pit, which they did, Ge 37:18-24; and after that, at the motion of Judah, sold him to the Ishmaelites, who were going to Egypt, Ge 37:25-28; this being done, Reuben being absent, and not finding Joseph in the pit, was in great distress, Ge 37:29,30; their contrivance to deceive their father, and make him believe that Joseph was destroyed by a wild beast, which on the sight of the coat he credited, and became inconsolable, Ge 37:31-35; and the chapter concludes with the sale of Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, Ge 37:36.
