4702. 'And his brothers envied him' means their aversion. This is clear from the meaning of 'envying' - like 'hating' and 'not speaking peaceably to him', as above in 4681 - as aversion. The word for 'envying' in the original language also means vying and wrangling with someone; and because vying and wrangling are the outcome of hatred, aversion too is meant by that same word.
