Genesis 37:3-9

New King James Version

³ Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was ^(A)the son of his old age. Also he ^(B)made him a tunic of many colors. ⁴ But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they ^(C)hated him and could not speak peaceably to him.

⁵ Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more. ⁶ So he said to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed: ^7 (D)There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.”

⁸ And his brothers said to him, “Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.

⁹ Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said, “Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, ^(E)the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me.”
