What Does Genesis 37:6 Mean?
Joseph requests their attention with respect ('I pray you'), suggesting he hopes to share something important. He is about to tell them a vision in which he sees himself elevated and them beneath him.
His earnest tone reveals innocence—he does not seem to grasp how his dream will be received as an insult and threat to his brothers' dignity.
