Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.

ExplanationCommentary
EXPLANATION

Verse 5. A dream. These dreams of Joseph were prophetical, and sent from God, as were also those which he interpreted, Genesis 40 and 41; otherwise, generally speaking, the observing of dreams is condemned in the Scripture, as superstitious and sinful. See Deuteronomy 18:10 and Eccle. 34:2. 3.
