Genesis 37:4–11

⁴And his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, and they hated him, and could not greet him with friendliness.

⁵And Joseph dreamed a dream, and told it to his brethren, and they hated him yet the more. ⁶And he said to them, Hear, I pray you, this dream, which I have dreamt: ⁷Behold, we were binding sheaves in the fields, and lo, my sheaf rose up, and remained standing; and behold, your sheaves came round about and bowed down to my sheaf. ⁸And his brethren said to him, Wilt thou indeed be a king over us? wilt thou indeed rule over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams and for his words. ⁹And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamt another dream, and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me. ¹⁰And he told it to his father and to his brethren. And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream which thou hast dreamt? Shall we indeed come, I and thy mother and thy brethren, to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? ¹¹And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the saying.
