⁵ And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers. And they hated him even more.^{[a] 6} And he said to them, “Listen now to this dream that I dreamed. ⁷ Now behold, we were binding sheaves in the midst of the field and, behold, my sheaf stood up and it remained standing. Then behold, your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to my sheaf.” ⁸ Then his brothers said to him, “Will you really rule over us?” And they hated him even more^[b] on account of his dream and because of his words. ⁹ Then he dreamed yet another dream and told it to his brothers. And he said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream again, and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” ¹⁰ And he told it to his father and to his brothers. And his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the ground to you?” ¹¹ And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.
