⁵ Joseph^[a] had a dream,^[b] and when he told his brothers about it^[c] they hated him even more.^{[d] 6} He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had:^{[e] 7} There we were,^[f] binding sheaves of grain in the middle of the field. Suddenly my sheaf rose up and stood upright and your sheaves surrounded my sheaf and bowed down^[g] to it!” ⁸ Then his brothers asked him, “Do you really think you will rule over us or have dominion over us?”^[h] They hated him even more^[i] because of his dream and because of what he said.^[j]

⁹ Then he had another dream,^[k] and told it to his brothers. “Look,”^[l] he said. “I had another dream. The sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”

⁴² Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his own hand and put it on Joseph’s. He clothed him with fine linen^[a] clothes and put a gold chain around his neck. ⁴³ Pharaoh^[b] had him ride in the chariot used by his second-in-command,^[c] and they cried out before him, “Kneel down!”^[d] So he placed him over all the land of Egypt. ⁴⁴ Pharaoh also said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your permission^[e] no one^[f] will move his hand or his foot^[g] in all the land of Egypt.”
