37:1 Yosef’s dreams cause conflict

37Yisra’el (Israel/Yacob/Jacob) lived in the area where his father Yitshak had stayed, in the Canaan region. 2This is the record of his descendants:

When Yosef (Joseph) was seventeen, he was shepherding the flocks with his brothers. He was younger than his brothers who were the sons of his father’s slave wives Bilhah and Zilpah. One day Yosef gave a tell-tale bad report about them to their father.

3Now Yisra’el loved Yosef more than all of his other sons because he was born to him when he was already old, so he made a multicoloured robe for him. 4When his brothers saw that their father loved Yosef more than all of his brothers, they hated him and couldn’t make themselves say anything nice to him.

5One night Yosef had a dream, and he told his brothers about it, but that made them hate him even more. 6He told them, “Please listen about this dream that I had: 7See, we were tying up bundles of grain stalks in the middle of a field, and wow, my bundle got up and stood upright. Then would you believe it, your bundles gathered around and bowed down to my one.”

8“Will you really reign over us?” his brothers retorted. “Do you think you’ll really rule over us?” So they continued to hate him even more because of his dreams and because of what he said.

9Then Yosef had another dream, and again he told his brothers, “Listen, I had another dream, and wow, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”

10When he told his father and his brothers, his father scolded him, “What’s this dream that you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come to bow down to the ground to you?” 11Consequently his brothers envied him, but his father kept pondering it.[ref]
