Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Genesis 37
⁴ And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
⁵ And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
⁶ And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
⁷ For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
⁸ And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
⁹ And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
¹⁰ And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
¹¹ And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
¹² And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
¹³ And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
¹⁴ And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
