Joseph's dream
Genesis
37:1 ķAnd
Jacob dwelt in the land
wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
2
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen
years
old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the
sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and
Joseph
brought unto his father their evil report.
3
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because
he was
the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
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
ķAnd 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?
It
is obvious from Jacob's comment
that he knew he and his children were indeed sons of God, i.e. angels,
who had previously spent time in heaven.
He may
have doubted whether Joseph
actually had the dream, but he knew what it meant, if he had indeed
dreamt
it!
11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
You can read the rest of chapter 37 in your Bible on your own, but remember Joseph's descendants were destined to and became the Christian nations of the world, led in the 20th and, to date the 21st centuries A.D., by the United States of America.
