Genesis 37:6 In-Context

4 When his brothers realized that their father loved him more than them, they grew to hate him - they wouldn't even speak to him.
5 Joseph had a dream. When he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.
6 He said, "Listen to this dream I had.
7 We were all out in the field gathering bundles of wheat. All of a sudden my bundle stood straight up and your bundles circled around it and bowed down to mine."
