# peaceably

adverb

«peaceably» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## In Jewish tradition

Used as in Genesis 37:4, where Joseph's brothers hate him so much that they cannot greet him kindly.

**Interpretation.** Commentators note this as a sign of honesty: the brothers did not hide their hatred behind false friendliness. Some also see it as the start of the jealousy that leads to Joseph being sold.

### Meaning

In a calm, friendly way, without quarrelling. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/P/peaceably/#m1)
