12:5 He said, “O my son, do not relate your vision to your brothers, lest they devise a plot against you, for Satan is a sworn enemy to mankind.

12:6 Thus your Lord will choose you and teach you the interpretation of dreams, and He will complete His favor upon you and upon the house of Jacob, just as He completed it upon your forefathers Abraham and Isaac before. Indeed, your Lord is All-Knowing, All-Wise.”

12:7 In the story of Joseph and his brothers there are lessons for those who seek [them].

12:8 When they said, “Joseph and his brother[1] are dearer to our father than we are, although we are a group of so many. Indeed, our father is clearly mistaken.

12:9 Kill Joseph or cast him out to another land, so that your father’s attention will only be to you; then you will become righteous people[1].”

12:10 One of them said, “Do not kill Joseph; but if you must do something, then throw him into the bottom of the well, so that some travelers may pick him up.”

12:11 They said, “O our father, why do you not trust us with Joseph[1], although we truly care for him?

12:12 Send him with us tomorrow so that he may enjoy himself and play; we will surely keep him safe.”

12:13 He said, “It truly saddens me that you should take him away, and I fear that a wolf may eat him when you are negligent of him.”

12:14 They said, “If a wolf were to eat him, despite our strong group, then we would surely be losers!”
