Joseph's Prophetic Dreams

Genesis 37:5-11
5
Yosef had a dream which he told his brothers, and that made them hate him all the more.
6
He said to them, "Listen while I tell you about this dream of mine.
7
We were tying up bundles of wheat in the field when suddenly my bundle got up by itself and stood upright; then your bundles came, gathered around mine and prostrated themselves before it."
8

9
He had another dream which he told his brothers: "Here, I had another dream, and there were the sun, the moon and eleven stars prostrating themselves before me."

11
His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.
