Midrash su Michea 6:1
שִׁמְעוּ־נָ֕א אֵ֥ת אֲשֶׁר־יְהוָ֖ה אֹמֵ֑ר ק֚וּם רִ֣יב אֶת־הֶהָרִ֔ים וְתִשְׁמַ֥עְנָה הַגְּבָע֖וֹת קוֹלֶֽךָ׃
Ascolta ora ciò che dice l'Eterno: Alzati, contendi davanti alle montagne e lascia che le colline ascoltino la tua voce.
Bereishit Rabbah
Once Joseph had a dream ... Hear, please (Gen. 37:5-6). He said: the prophets will admonish you like this, "hear, please" - "Hear please what Ad-nai says" (Micah 6:1). "There we were binding sheaves" - I bring produce in, you bring produce in, but your vegetables are rotting and mine are healthy. "Suddenly my sheaf [אֲלֻמָּתִי alumati] stood up and remained upright" - Rabbi Levi and Rabbi Acha disagree. Rabbi Levi said: in the future you will make silent idols [אֱלִילִים אִלְמִים elilim ilmim] in front of Yeravam's golden calves and you will say "this is your god, Yisrael" (Ex. 32:4). Rabbi Acha said: in the future you will conspire against me and say to dad "a wild animal ate him" (Gen. 37:33). And what will stand for me? My mother's silence. "Stood up" - "suddenly my sheaf stood up and remained upright; then your sheaves gathered around and bowed low to my sheaf" - these [extra words] correspond to the five times they will bow down to him in the future. "His brothers said to him: will you reign over us? Will you rule over us?" (Gen. 37:8) - R. Levi and R. Simon - one said that because they answered him with an evil eye, he eventually produced evil people (Yerovam ben Nevat was from Ephrayim) . Another said that because they answered him with a double expression, he eventually produced kings (Joshua and Yerovam).
