# because their father loved him most, and because Joseph had dreamed
|
||
|
||
The word **because** connects the two reasons Joseph’s brothers hated him (their father loved him most and Joseph’s dream), with the result (they hated him). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-result]])

|
||
# When Joseph came
|
||
|
||
The word **When** indicates the order of events. After Joseph came the brothers took him captive and sold him. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-time-sequential]])
|
||
|
||
# came to his brothers
|
||
|
||
Another way this could be translated is: “reached the place where his brothers were.”
|
||
|
||
# took him captive
|
||
|
||
They took him against his will. It was not right for them to do this.

||
# slave traders
