Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 37:12-19

Joseph Seeking His Brethren Genesis 37:12-19 INTRODUCTORY WORDS It is difficult for us to understand why Joseph's brethren should have hated him. Joseph was but a youth of quiet mien and true integrity. His deeds were righteous and his life was clean. His being hated of his brethren only cast shame upon them. As we run our eyes down through the opening verses of Genesis 37:1-36 , we discover that in each instance the hatred of Joseph's brethren is in full accord with the hatred of Christ's... read more

Joseph Rejected by His Brethren Genesis 37:20 -Genesis 39:1-23 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As we proceed to consider Joseph, as rejected of his brethren, there will be discovered an outline of Christ rejected by His people which will stand forth in amazing colors. Truly the hand of God was working in a way that neither Joseph nor the brothers who delivered him, knew. Let us now consider the five reasons which Christ, Himself, gave for His being refused by His own. In these five statements we will... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 37:3

THE FAVOURITE SON‘Israel loved Joseph more than all his children.’ Genesis 37:3 Joseph was most loved because he was a son born to Jacob in ‘old age’—over ninety. Benjamin was perhaps too young to allow of unusual affection being developed or exhibited. Joseph was the son of the loved Rachel, and from chapter Genesis 39:6, we may gather that he inherited his mother’s beauty. I. He received a special token of affection.—His father ‘ made him a coat of many colours,’ i.e. a long tunic with... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 37:18

UNBROTHERLY BROTHERS‘They conspired against (Joseph).’ Genesis 37:18 The scene changes. Dothan was, and is, on the line of traffic between the East and Egypt; it was quite natural, therefore, that a company of merchants, camels and servants should pass along. A happy (?) thought now struck the brethren, as this picture rose to view, and, on the suggestion of Judah, they at once sold their young brother for twenty pieces of silver—about £3, as he was only a boy.There is curious irony in this... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 37:1

‘And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father’s sojournings, in the land of Canaan.’ In contrast with Esau Jacob remains in the promised land. This is the crucially important statement that keeps Jacob firmly established as the inheritor of the promises. He remains where God purposes are being outworked. This verse could well in the original tablet have immediately followed Genesis 35:29 with Genesis 36:0 inserted by the compiler to explain what happened to Esau before carrying on the Jacob story.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 37:2-7

Genesis 37:2 a “This is the family history of Jacob.” This verse is extremely important as establishing that ‘toledoth’ means family history. It is clearly a colophon identifying the tablet to which it refers and in our view equally clearly refers backwards. The following narrative begins with ‘Joseph’ and contains his story in a continuous narrative. JOSEPH The Life of Joseph (Genesis 37:2 to Genesis 50:26 ) In this section we have the life of Joseph from beginning to end. It quite clearly... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 37:8

‘And his brothers said, “Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed have dominion over us?” And they hated him yet even more. The brothers recognised the significance of the dream. As sons to the slave wives (Genesis 37:2) they took it very badly. Joseph was even dreaming of his superiority over them. The idea that they should bow down to him was preposterous. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 37:9

‘And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers and said, “Behold I have dreamed yet a dream, and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me.” Again he dreams and again he cannot keep it to himself. The meaning of the dream is made clear in the next verse. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 37:10

‘And he told it to his father and to his brothers, and his father rebuked him and said, “What is this dream that you have dreamed. Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to you to the earth?” ’ This time he not only told it to his brothers with whom he worked but also to his father and his other brothers. Possibly he was even troubled by the dreams. But his father too took it amiss. How dare he suggest that they would all bow down to him? “And your mother.”... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 37:11

‘And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in his mind.’ There is here an interesting contrast. Quite understandably his brothers, who were already on bad terms with him, took his dreams badly. If they signified anything they signified his feeling of superiority over them. The suggestion of jealousy indicates that they felt that the dreams did somehow thrust him into further undeserved prominence. But his father was uneasy. While damping down any pretentiousness, he... read more
