5 Now Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him even more.
Passage themes
The revealing dream — Joseph dreamed a dream
The brothers' hatred — he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more
Notes and references
In both vv 5 and 8 “hated him even more” is properly translated, but there is an interesting play on words. The literal Hebrew says, “they added to hate”—the Hebrew word for “added” is the same for the word for Joseph—“they ‘Josephed’ their hate for him.”
