Genesis 37:4-11 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

4. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and were not able to speak peaceably to him.

5. And Yosĕph dreamed a dream, and told it to his brothers. So they hated him even more.

6. And he said to them, “Please listen to this dream which I have dreamed:

7. “See, we were binding sheaves in the midst of the field, and see, my sheaf rose up and also stood up. And see, your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.”

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

9. And he dreamed still another dream and related it to his brothers, and said, “See, I have dreamed another dream, and see, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars bowed down to me.”

10. And he related it to his father and his brothers. And his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall we, your mother and I and your brothers, indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?”

11. And his brothers envied him, but his father guarded the word.
