⁴ His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers; and so they ^(A)hated him and could not speak to him ^[a]on friendly terms.

⁵ Then Joseph ^[b](B)had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more. ⁶ He said to them, “Please listen to this dream which I have ^[c]had; ⁷ for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and lo, my sheaf rose up and also stood erect; and behold, your sheaves gathered around and ^(C)bowed down to my sheaf.” ⁸ Then his brothers said to him, “^(D)Are you actually going to reign over us? Or are you really going to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.

⁹ Now he ^[d]had still another dream, and related it to his brothers, and said, “Lo, I have ^[e]had still another dream; and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” ¹⁰ He related it to his father and to his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have ^[f]had? Shall I and your mother and ^(E)your brothers actually come to bow ourselves down before you to the ground?” ^11 (F)His brothers were jealous of him, but his father ^(G)kept the saying in mind.
