Genesis 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.

Genesis 37:5 In-Context

3 En Israel had Jozef lief, boven al zijn zonen; want hij was hem een zoon des ouderdoms; en hij maakte hem een veelvervigen rok.
4 Als nu zijn broeders zagen, dat hun vader hem boven al zijn broederen liefhad, haatten zij hem, en konden hem niet vredelijk toespreken.
5 Ook droomde Jozef een droom, dien hij aan zijn broederen vertelde; daarom haatten zij hem nog te meer.
6 En hij zeide tot hen: Hoort toch dezen droom, dien ik gedroomd heb.
7 En ziet, wij waren schoven bindende in het midden des velds; en ziet, mijn schoof stond op, en bleef ook staande; en ziet, uw schoven kwamen rondom, en bogen zich neder voor mijn schoof.
