One time Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him even more.

Since Joseph was born when his father Israel was old, Israel loved him more than his other sons. He made Joseph a special robe with long sleeves.

When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father loved him more than he loved them, they hated their brother and could not speak to him politely.

Then Joseph had another dream, and he told his brothers about it also. He said, “Listen, I had another dream. I saw the sun, moon, and eleven stars bowing down to me.”

Joseph’s brothers were jealous of him, but his father thought about what all these things could mean.

Joseph said, “Listen to the dream I had. We were in the field tying bundles of wheat together. My bundle stood up, and your bundles of wheat gathered around it and bowed down to it.”

Let’s kill him and throw his body into one of the wells. We can tell our father that a wild animal killed him. Then we will see what will become of his dreams.”

So when the Midianite traders came by, the brothers took Joseph out of the well and sold him to the Ishmaelites for eight ounces of silver. And the Ishmaelites took him to Egypt.

They said to each other, “Here comes that dreamer.

Joseph’s brothers saw him coming from far away. Before he reached them, they made a plan to kill him.

Don’t spill any blood. Throw him into this well here in the desert, but don’t hurt him!” Reuben planned to save Joseph later and send him back to his father.
