Genesis 37:4–11

⁴When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and were not able to speak peaceably to him.

⁵And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers. And they hated him even more.^{d 6}And he said to them, “Listen now to this dream that I dreamed. ⁷Now behold, we were binding sheaves in the midst of the field and, behold, my sheaf stood up and it remained standing. Then behold, your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to my sheaf.” ⁸Then his brothers said to him, “Will you really reign over us? Or will you truly rule over us?” And they hated him even more^e on account of his dream and because of his words. ⁹Then he dreamed yet another dream and told it to his brothers. And he said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream again, and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” ¹⁰And he told it to his father and to his brothers. And his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the ground to you?” ¹¹And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.
