If Joseph had observed genuine malfeasance on the part of his brothers, he was probably duty-bound to report it to Jacob. However, given his immaturity and insensitivity (which we will soon see manifested when he tells his dreams to his brothers), it seems possible––perhaps even likely––that his report exaggerated any shortcomings that he might have observed.
Si José hubiera observado verdadera maleficencia por parte de sus hermanos, seguramente era su obligación reportarlo a Jacob. No obstante, a causa de su inmadurez y falta de sensibilidad (que pronto se manifestará cuando relate sus sueños a sus hermanos), es posible – quizá probable – que su reporte exagere cualquier falta que pudiera haber observado.
