3Now Israelb loved Joseph more than any of his other sons,c because he had been born to him in his old age;d and he made an ornatea robee for him.f 4When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated himg and could not speak a kind word to him.

5Joseph had a dream,h and when he told it to his brothers,i they hated him all the more.j 6He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had: 7We were binding sheavesk of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it.”l

8His brothers said to him, “Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?”m And they hated him all the moren because of his dream and what he had said.

9Then he had another dream,o and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven starsp were bowing down to me.”q

10When he told his father as well as his brothers,r his father rebukeds him and said, “What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?”t
