Genesis 37:5-11

Expanded Bible

⁵ One time Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him even more. ⁶ Joseph said, “Listen to the dream I ·had [^Ldreamed]. ⁷ We were in the field tying ·bundles [sheaves] of wheat together. My ·bundle [sheaf] rose and stood upright, and your ·bundles [sheaves] of wheat gathered around it and bowed down to it.”

⁸ His brothers said, “Do you really think you will be king over us? Do you truly think you will ·rule over [dominate] us?” His brothers hated him even more because of his dreams and what he had said.

⁹ Then Joseph had another dream, and he told his brothers about it also. He said, “Listen, I had another dream. I saw the sun, moon, and eleven stars bowing down to me.”

¹⁰ Joseph also told his father about this dream, but his father ·scolded [rebuked] him, saying, “What kind of dream is this? Do you really believe that your mother, your brothers, and I will bow down to you?” ¹¹ Joseph’s brothers were jealous of him, but his father ·thought about what all these things could mean [^Lguarded/kept the report].
