Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 37:10

10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren; and his father rebuked him , and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? shall I, and thy mother , and thy brethren indeed come to bowe down our selves to thee, to the earth?

Not through anger at Ioseph, or contempt of his dream, for it follows, he observed it, but partly lest Ioseph should be puffed up upon the account of his dreams, and principally, to allay the envy and hatred of his brethren.

Either 1. Rach[illegible: 1+ letters]., who was now dead, and therefore must rise again and worship thee: whence he may seem to infer the idleness of the dream, because the fulfilling it was impossible: or rather 2. Leah, his step-mother, one that filled his mothers place, being now Iacobs onely wife, and the mother of the Family.
