Génesis 37:5-36 NVI

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 37:34

And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins ,— שָׂק (cf. σάκος, el, frog, saccus ) , the usual dress of mourners ( 2 Samuel 3:31 ; Nehemiah 9:1 ; Esther 4:1 ), was a coarse, thick haircloth, of which corn sacks were also made ( Genesis 42:25 ), and which in cases of extreme mental distress was worn next the skin ( 1 Kings 21:27 )— and mourned for his son many days . Though twenty-two years elapsed before Jacob again beheld his son, and though doubtless... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 37:35

And all his sons —the criminals become comforters (Lange)- and all his daughters —either Jacob had other daughters besides Dinah (Kalisch, Gerlach, 'Speaker's Commentary'), or these included his daughters-in-law, the word being employed as in Ruth 1:11 , Ruth 1:12 (Willet, Bush, Murphy), or the term is used freely without being designed to indicate whether he had one or more girls in his family— rose up to comfort him (this implies the return of Jacob's brethren to Hebron); but he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 37:36

And the Midianites —or Medanites, descendants of Medan, a brother of Midian, both of whom were sons of Abraham by Keturah ( Genesis 25:2 ). That the Arabian merchants are called Ishmaelites ( Genesis 37:27 ), Midianites ( Genesis 37:28 ), and Medanites ( Genesis 37:36 ), is explained as an evidence of varying legends (Tuch, Bleek, Davidson, Colenso), but is better accounted for as indicating that the traders were composed of men of various nations (Clericus); that the Midianites,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 37:5

Genesis 37:5. Joseph dreamed a dream Which it is probable he did not understand at first, and therefore, in great simplicity, told it to his brethren; for, had he understood it, he certainly would not have mentioned it to them, for he could not but know they were likely to make an evil construction and use of it. But God’s special providence was seen both in giving him these dreams, and in causing him to reveal them, because hereby it was made manifest, when the things which they signified... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 37:7

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

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 37:9

Genesis 37:9. Yet another dream The repetition of the same thing in another shape, might have taught them that it was both certain and very observable. 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

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 37:10

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
