Genesis 37:5-11
The Voice
5 One day Joseph had a dream. When he told the dream to his brothers, they hated him even more.
Joseph: 6 Please listen to this dream I had! 7 There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Suddenly my sheaf rose and stood up, and then your sheaves all gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf.
Joseph’s Brothers (annoyed): 8 Are you serious? You think you are somehow destined to reign over us? You think you are going to be our king?
This dream and what he told them about it made them hate him even more.
9 But Joseph had another dream, and he made the mistake of telling them about this dream too.
Joseph: Listen! I’ve had another dream: I saw the sun, the moon, and 11 stars bowing down to me.
10 When he told this dream to his father and brothers, even his father scolded him.
Israel: What kind of dream is this? Do you actually think your mother and I and your brothers are going to bow down before you?
11 Joseph’s brothers had become extremely jealous of him. But his father—though he scolded Joseph—kept this dream in the back of his mind.
