Joseph Telling His Dreams to His Brothers by Rembrandt
Joseph, Jacob’s beloved son from Rachel, had divine dreams indicating his future reign in Egypt. Sharing these dreams, however, stirred animosity between his brothers.
Genesis 37:5-7
Once Joseph had a dream which he told his brothers; and they hated him even more. He said to them, "Hear this dream which I have dreamed: There we were binding sheaves in the field, and suddenly my sheaf stood up and remained upright; then your sheaves gathered around and bowed low to my sheaf."
