SEV Biblia, Chapter 37:7
He aquí que atábamos manojos en medio del campo, y he aquí que mi manojo se levantaba, y estaba derecho, y que vuestros manojos estaban alrededor, y se inclinaban al mío.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 37:7
Verse 7. We were binding sheaves in the field] Though in these early times we read little of tillage, yet it is evident from this circumstance that it was practiced by Jacob and his sons. The whole of this dream is so very plain as to require no comment, unless we could suppose that the sheaves of grain might have some reference to the plenty in Egypt under Joseph's superintendence, and the scarcity in Canaan, which obliged the brethren to go down to Egypt for corn, where the dream was most literally fulfilled, his brethren there bowing in the most abject manner before him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-11 - God gave Joseph betimes the prospect of his advancement, to support an comfort him under his long and grievous troubles. Observe, Josep dreamed of his preferment, but he did not dream of his imprisonment Thus many young people, when setting out in the world, think of nothin but prosperity and pleasure, and never dream of trouble. His brethre rightly interpreted the dream, though they abhorred the interpretatio of it. While they committed crimes in order to defeat it, they wer themselves the instruments of accomplishing it. Thus the Jew understood what Christ said of his kingdom. Determined that he shoul not reign over them, they consulted to put him to death; and by his crucifixion, made way for the exaltation they designed to prevent.
