Genesis 37:4–11

⁴When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him^g 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 6}He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had: ⁷We were binding sheaves^k 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 stars^p were bowing down to me.”^q

¹⁰When he told his father as well as his brothers,^r his father rebuked^s 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 11}His brothers were jealous of him,^u but his father kept the matter in mind.^v
