Gênesis 37:6-11 NVIPT

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 37:9

And he dreamed yet another dream ,—the doubling of the dream was designed to indicate its certainty (cf. Genesis 41:32 )— and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more ; and, behold, the sun ( הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ , the minister, from Chaldee root שְׁמַשׁ , the pael of which occurs in Daniel 7:10 ) and the moon — הַיּרֵחַ , probably, if the word be not a primitive, the circuit-maker, from the unused root יָרַח , = אָרַח , to go about (Furst); or the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 37:10

And he told it to his father, and to his brethren —whom it manifestly concerned, as, for the like reason, he had reported the first dream only to his brethren. That he does not tell it to his mother may be an indication that Rachel was by this time dead. And his father rebuked him ,—either to avoid irritating his brethren (Calvin), or to repress an appearance of pride in Joseph (Lange, Murphy, Inglis), or to express his own surprise (Candlish) or irritation (Keil), or sense of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 37:11

And his brethren envied him . The verb קָנָא (unused in Kal), to become red in the face, seems to indicate that the hatred of Joseph's brethren revealed itself in scowling looks. But his father observed the saying— literally, kept the word, διετήρησε τὸ ῥῆμα ( LXX .). Cf. Daniel 7:28 ; Luke 2:51 . HOMILETICS read more

Genesis 37:7. Behold, we were binding sheaves in the field This was a secret intimation of the occasion of Joseph’s advancement, which was from his counsel and care about the corn in Egypt. Your sheaves stood round about A posture this of ministry and service; and made obeisance to my sheaf How wonderfully was this fulfilled when his brethren, making application to him for corn, came and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth! read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 37:8

Genesis 37:8. Shalt thou indeed reign over us? See here, 1st, How truly they interpreted his dream! The event exactly answered this interpretation, Genesis 42:6, &c. 2d, How scornfully they resented it, Shalt thou, that art but one, reign over us, that are many? Thou that art the youngest, over us that are elder? The reign of Jesus Christ, our Joseph, is despised and opposed by an unbelieving world, who cannot endure to think that this man should reign over them. The dominion... read more

Behold the sun and the moon His father and mother, here signified by the sun and moon, were not represented in the first dream, because, in the event, his brethren only went at first to Egypt, and there did him obeisance, and it was not till afterward that his father went with them. read more

Genesis 37:10. He told it to his father The dream was so strongly impressed upon his mind, and that, no doubt, by the Spirit of God, that he could not rest till he had acquainted his father with it. His father rebuked him Not through anger or contempt of his dream, for it follows, he observed it; but partly lest Joseph should be elated with the idea of superiority over his brethren, and give place to pride on account of his dreams, and principally to allay the envy and hatred of his... read more

37:1-50:26 FAMILY GROWTH AND THE MOVE TO EGYPTJoseph taken to Egypt (37:1-36)God had told Abraham that his descendants would become slaves in a foreign land, and would remain there till Canaan was ready for judgment. Then they would destroy the Canaanites and possess their land (see 15:13-16). The long story of Joseph shows how God was directing events according to his preannounced purposes.Being the father’s favourite, Joseph was not popular with his ten older brothers.
