Bereshis 37:6 In-Context

4 And when his achim saw that Avihem loved him more than all his achim, they hated him, and could not speak with shalom unto him.
5 And Yosef dreamed a chalom (dream [see Mt 2:22 OJBC]), and he told it to his achim; and they hated him yet the more.
6 And he said unto them, Hear, now, this chalom which I have dreamed:
7 For, hinei, we were binding alummim (sheaves of wheat) out in the sadeh, and, hinei, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, hinei, your alummot (sheaves of wheat) gathered around it, and bowed down to my sheaf.
8 And his achim 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 chalomot (dreams), and for his devarim.
