“The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:”
With bitterness archers attacked him; they shot at him with hostility. The acknowledgment of Joseph's suffering — bitterness, archers, hostility — is the honest account of what the fruitful vine endured. The application: the blessing that acknowledges the suffering that preceded the fruitfulness is more honest than the blessing that goes directly to the triumph.
