Genesis 37:5-10

5Then Joseph 12had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more. 6He said to them, “Please listen to this dream which I have 3had; 7for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf stood up and also remained standing; and behold, your sheaves gathered around and 4bowed down to my sheaf.” 8Then his brothers said to him, “5Are you actually going to reign over us? Or are you really going to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.

9Then he 6had yet another dream, and informed his brothers of it, and said, “Behold, I have 7had yet another dream; and behold, the sun and the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” 10He also told it to his father as well as to his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have 8had? Am I and your mother and 9your brothers actually going to come to bow down to the ground before you?”
