Genesis 37:7 in the King James Version of the Bible describes a dream that Joseph had. In the dream, Joseph saw himself and his brothers binding sheaves in the field when suddenly his sheaf stood upright while the sheaves of his brothers gathered around and bowed down to it. This dream symbolized Joseph’s future rise to power and his brothers’ subservience to him. However, this dream also fueled the jealousy and resentment his brothers already felt towards him, as they saw it as a sign that Joseph believed himself to be superior to them. This dream was a premonition of the events that would unfold in Joseph’s life, where he would indeed become a powerful figure while his brothers would eventually come to bow down before him, fulfilling the prophecy of this dream.
