Genesis 37:5-11
1599 Geneva Bible
5 ¶ And Joseph [a]dreamed a dream, and told his brethren, who hated him so much the more.
6 For he said unto them, Hear, I pray you this dream which I have dreamed.
7 Behold now, we were binding sheaves in the midst of the field: and lo, my sheaf arose and also stood upright, and behold, your sheaves compassed round about, and did reverence to my sheaf.
8 Then his brethren said to him, What, shalt thou reign over us, and rule us? or shalt thou have altogether dominion over us? And they [b]hated him so much the more, for his dreams, and for his words.
9 ¶ Again he dreamed another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have had one dream more, and behold, the Sun and the Moon and eleven stars did reverence to me.
10 Then he told it unto his father and to his brethren, and his father [c]rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this thy dream, which thou hast dreamed? shall I, and thy mother, and thy brethren come indeed and fall on the ground before thee?
11 And his brethren envied him, but his father [d][e]noted the saying.
