When he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.He said to them,“ Listen to this dream I had:There we were, binding sheaves of grain in the field. Suddenly my sheaf stood up, and your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf.”“ Are you really going to reign over us?” his brothers asked him.“ Are you really going to rule us?” So they hated him even more because of his dream and what he had said.Then he had another dream and told it to his brothers.“ Look,” he said,“ I had another dream, and this time the sun, moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”He told his father and brothers, and his father rebuked him.“ What kind of dream is this that you have had?” he said.“ Am I and your mother and your brothers really going to come and bow down to the ground before you?”His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.
