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 di tutti gli altri suoi figliuoli, perché era il figlio della sua vecchiaia; e gli fece una veste lunga con le maniche.
4 E i suoi fratelli, vedendo che il loro padre l’amava più di tutti gli altri fratelli, l’odiavano, e non gli potevan parlare amichevolmente.
5 Or Giuseppe ebbe un sogno, e lo raccontò ai suoi fratelli; e questi l’odiaron più che mai.
6 Egli disse loro: "Udite, vi prego, il sogno che ho fatto.
7 Noi stavamo legando de’ covoni in mezzo ai campi, quand’ecco che il mio covone si levò su e si tenne ritto; ed ecco i covoni vostri farsi d’intorno al mio covone, e inchinarglisi dinanzi".
