At this chapter begins the story of Joseph, who, in every subsequent chapter but one to the end of this book, makes the greatest figure. He was Jacob's eldest son by his beloved wife Rachel, born, as many eminent men were, of a mother that had been long barren. His story is so remarkably divided between his humiliation and his exaltation that we cannot avoid seeing something of Christ in it, who was first humbled and then exalted, and, in many instances, so as to answer the type of Joseph. It also shows the lot of Christians, who must through many tribulations enter into the kingdom. In this chapter we have, I. The malice his brethren bore against him. They hated him, 1. Because he informed his father of their wickedness (Gen 37:1, Gen 37:2). 2. Because his father loved him (Gen 37:3, Gen 37:4). 3. Because he dreamed of his dominion over them (Gen 37:5-11). II. The mischiefs his brethren designed and did to him. 1. The kind visit he made them gave an opportunity (Gen 37:12-17). 2. They designed to slay him, but determined to starve him (Gen 37:18-24). 3. They changed their purpose, and sold him for a slave (Gen 37:25-28). 4. They made their father believe that he was torn in pieces (Gen 37:29-35). 5. He was sold into Egypt to Potiphar (Gen 37:36). And all this was working together for good.
افتح المصدر ↗37:11 His brothers hated Joseph because they were jealous of him. Rather than recognize the hand of God, the brothers tried to prevent the dream from being fulfilled (37:18-36). These actions show that they were not fit to lead the household of faith. God’s sovereign choice of a leader, especially if the one chosen is young or appears unqualified, often brings out the true colors of those who have to submit to that leader’s authority. The brothers represent people throughout history who have been driven by envy and malice because they were not committed to doing the Lord’s will. • Jacob wondered what the dreams meant because he knew that God would choose the next leader, that God could choose the younger son to rule over the older sons, and that God could reveal all this in dreams.

وَرُؤَسَاءُ الآبَاءِ حَسَدُوا يُوسُفَ وَبَاعُوهُ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَكَانَ اللهُ مَعَهُ،
وَأَمَّا مَرْيَمُ فَكَانَتْ تَحْفَظُ جَمِيعَ هذَا الْكَلاَمِ مُتَفَكِّرَةً بِهِ فِي قَلْبِهَا.
ثُمَّ نَزَلَ مَعَهُمَا وَجَاءَ إِلَى النَّاصِرَةِ وَكَانَ خَاضِعًا لَهُمَا. وَكَانَتْ أُمُّهُ تَحْفَظُ جَمِيعَ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ فِي قَلْبِهَا.
إِلَى هُنَا نِهَايَةُ الأَمْرِ. أَمَّا أَنَا دَانِيآلَ، فَأَفْكَارِي أَفْزَعَتْنِي كَثِيرًا، وَتَغَيَّرَتْ عَلَيَّ هَيْئَتِي، وَحَفِظْتُ الأَمْرَ فِي قَلْبِي».
وَرَأَيْتُ كُلَّ التَّعَبِ وَكُلَّ فَلاَحِ عَمَل أَنَّهُ حَسَدُ الإِنْسَانِ مِنْ قَرِيبِهِ. وَهذَا أَيْضًا بَاطِلٌ وَقَبْضُ الرِّيحِ.
لأَنَّنَا كُنَّا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا قَبْلاً أَغْبِيَاءَ، غَيْرَ طَائِعِينَ، ضَالِّينَ، مُسْتَعْبَدِينَ لِشَهَوَاتٍ وَلَذَّاتٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ، عَائِشِينَ فِي الْخُبْثِ وَالْحَسَدِ، مَمْقُوتِينَ، مُبْغِضِينَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا.
حَسَدٌ قَتْلٌ سُكْرٌ بَطَرٌ، وَأَمْثَالُ هذِهِ الَّتِي أَسْبِقُ فَأَقُولُ لَكُمْ عَنْهَا كَمَا سَبَقْتُ فَقُلْتُ أَيْضًا: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ مِثْلَ هذِهِ لاَ يَرِثُونَ مَلَكُوتَ اللهِ.
يَا رَبُّ، ارْتَفَعَتْ يَدُكَ وَلاَ يَرَوْنَ. يَرَوْنَ وَيَخْزَوْنَ مِنَ الْغَيْرَةِ عَلَى الشَّعْبِ وَتَأْكُلُهُمْ نَارُ أَعْدَائِكَ.
فَيَزُولُ حَسَدُ أَفْرَايِمَ، وَيَنْقَرِضُ الْمُضَايِقُونَ مِنْ يَهُوذَا. أَفْرَايِمُ لاَ يَحْسِدُ يَهُوذَا، وَيَهُوذَا لاَ يُضَايِقُ أَفْرَايِمَ.
لأَنَّهُ عَرَفَ أَنَّ رُؤَسَاءَ الْكَهَنَةِ كَانُوا قَدْ أَسْلَمُوهُ حَسَدًا.
