Sforno on Genesis 37:19/ספורנו על בראשית ל״ז:י״ט
אהִנֵּה בַּעַל הַחֲלוֹמוֹת. שֶׁסִּפֵּר לָנוּ אֶת הַחֲלוֹמוֹת לְהַקְצִיפֵנוּ, כְּדֵי שֶׁנִּתְקוֹמֵם עָלָיו וְנֶחֱטָא לָאֵל יִתְבָּרַךְ אוֹ לְאָבִינוּ אוֹ לִשְׁנֵיהֶם וְנֹאבַד.
1הנה בעל החלומות, they meant “the one who told us about his dreams in order to make us angry.” They meant that Joseph had wanted them to commit a sin as a result of their anger so that they would bring down upon themselves the wrath of their father or of G’d. causing our destruction in either event.
