Joseph had two strange dreams: First he dreamed that he and his brothers were binding grain in the field when, suddenly, his brothers’ sheaves, or bundles, all stood up around his sheaf, and bowed to his sheaf. He told the dream to his brothers, and they asked if he meant he should rule over them, and they were very angry with him.
Then Joseph had another dream and in this dream he saw the sun, and moon, and eleven stars bow to him. When he told the dream to his father and brothers, they thought him very proud to dream that others should bow down to him.
But it was not because Joseph was proud, but it was the Lord Who gave him the dreams; for tine find when we read more about Joseph and his brothers that his dreams really told what did happen years later, and only the Lord can tell truly beforehand what is to be. God was teaching them by the dreams to, know His power, so they would trust Him.
