בְּאַחַ֣ד הַבֹּר֔וֹת
in/on/at/with,one the,pits
A cistern was a large hole or pit that had been dug in the ground to catch rain water and store it there. It was wide at the bottom and had a small opening at the top. The sides of the hole were covered with plaster so that it would hold water. Alternate translation: “into one of the empty pits here.”
וְאָמַ֕רְנוּ חַיָּ֥ה רָעָ֖ה
and,say living wild
Alternate translation: “Then we will tell people that a ferocious wild animal”
אֲכָלָ֑תְהוּ
devoured,him
Alternate translation: “has eaten him,” or “ate him down,”
וְנִרְאֶ֕ה
and,see
Alternate translation: “and everyone will see”
מַה יִּהְי֖וּ חֲלֹמֹתָֽיו
what? become his/its=dreams
Joseph’s brothers are speaking here in a disdainful way, continuing to mock him. Alternate translation: “what will become of his dreams!” or “what happens to his great dreams!” or “if his great dreams come true!”
37:18-20 When Joseph’s brothers saw him coming, they devised a plot to kill . . . the dreamer and end his dreams. Earlier, they had unjustly killed the men of Shechem to avenge their sister (ch 34); in the region of Shechem, they now plotted to unjustly kill their own brother out of envy.
