NETBible

Joseph¹ had a dream,² and when he told his brothers about it,³ they hated him even more.⁴

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Joseph) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²tn Heb “dreamed a dream.”

³sn Some interpreters see Joseph as gloating over his brothers, but the text simply says he told his brothers about it (i.e., the dream). The text gives no warrant for interpreting his manner as arrogant or condescending. It seems normal that he would share a dream with the family.

⁴tn The construction uses a hendiadys, “they added to hate,” meaning they hated him even more.
