Dreams of Yosef
Yackov dwelt in the land of his father, in Canaan. When Yosef was seventeen years old, he served as a shepherd along with his brothers watching the flocks. He was especially friendly to the the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah. Yosef would bring evil tales of his brothers to Yackov.

Yockov loved Yosef more then all his sons, since he wass born in his old age. He made a fine woolen striped coat for him. Upon seeing this extra love, the brothers began hating Yosef and they could not speak with him peacefully.
First Dream
Yosef had a dream where he was binding sheaves of wheat along with his brothers in the midst of a field. Suddenly his sheaf arose and stood upright and the sheaves of the brothers encircled it and bowed down to it. Yosef related the dream to his brothers and they continued to hate him saying he wished to rule over and govern them.
Second Dream
Yosef had another dream where the sun, moon and eleven stars were prostrating themselves to him. He related it to his brothers in front of his father. Yackov rebuked him for trying to claim that He, his mother and brothers will come and prostrate themselves to him. His brothers envied Yosef, but Yackov awaited to see what would happen.
