Genesis 37:33Without doubtWithout doubtWhile in relation to some things men doubt where they ought to trust, with other matters they will feel quite certain, though they have good cause for questioning.Consider the habit of taking certain notions “without doubt,” as it is illustrated in the case of Jacob. I. THE HABIT IS DEPENDENT ON PREDISPOSITION. The sanguine are “without doubt” of success, where the cautious are “without doubt” of disaster.

Genesis 37:35He refused to be comfortedReal and unreal consolationsEarth is so full of sorrows, and its sorrows are so various, and its cry for their healing so piteous and so importunate, that no man who lives can always stop his ears, if he can even steel his heart, against the demand for his sympathy and his ministration.The world itself has its forms and its phrases of consolation; borrowed, no doubt, in name, from Christianity and the Bible, but divested, in the transfer, of their efficacy... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 37:18

Gen 37:18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. Ver. 18. They conspired against him. ] So did the husbandmen against Christ: "This is the heir," say they, &c. Luk 20:14 The word is by one rendered, They craftily conspired. The Greek hath it, malignantly: craft and cruelty go usually together in the Church’s adversaries. The devil lends them his seven heads to plot, and his ten horns to push poor Joseph, that dreads no... read more

Envy, so it may gall, or kill, cares not how true or false it be, that, it allegeth: it usually aggravates the matter beyond truth, to do mischief, as here. Their hearts were so big, swollen with spite and spleen, that they could not call him by his name, but "this dreamer." So the Pharisees called... read more

Gen 37:20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams. Ver. 20. And we will say. ] So they consult, to cover their murder with a lie. One sin admitted makes way for another. He that hath fallen down one rung of hell’s ladder, knows not where he shall stop, till he break his neck at the bottom. read more
