⁵ One time Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him even more. ⁶ Joseph said, “Listen to the dream I ·had [^Ldreamed]. ⁷ We were in the field tying ·bundles [sheaves] of wheat together. My ·bundle [sheaf] rose and stood upright, and your ·bundles [sheaves] of wheat gathered around it and bowed down to it.”

⁸ His brothers said, “Do you really think you will be king over us? Do you truly think you will ·rule over [dominate] us?” His brothers hated him even more because of his dreams and what he had said.

⁹ 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.”

⁴² Then ·the king [^LPharaoh] took off ·from his own finger his ring with the royal seal on it [^Lhis signet ring; ^Ca form of identification], and he put it on Joseph’s finger. He gave Joseph fine linen clothes to wear, and he put a gold chain around Joseph’s neck [^Call symbols of authority]. ⁴³ ·The king had Joseph [^LHe made him] ride in the second royal chariot, and people walked ahead of his chariot calling, “Bow down [^Can Egyptian word of uncertain meaning]!” By doing these things, the king put Joseph in charge of all of Egypt.

⁴⁴ The king said to him, “I am ·the king [^LPharaoh], and I say that no one in all the land of Egypt may lift a hand or a foot without your permission.”
