8. His brethren answered: Shalt thou be our king? or shall we be subject to thy dominion? Therefore this matter of his dreams and words ministered nourishment to their envy and hatred.
9. He dreamed also another dream, which he told his brethren, saying: I saw in a dream, as it were the sun, and the moon, and eleven stars worshipping me.
10. And when he had told this to his father and brethren, his father rebuked him, and said: What meaneth this dream that thou hast dreamed? shall I and thy mother, and thy brethren worship thee upon the earth?
11. His brethren therefore envied him: but his father considered the thing with himself.
12. And when his brethren abode in Sichem feeding their father's docks,
13. Israel said to him: Thy brethren feed the sheep in Sichem: come, I will send thee to them. And when he answered:
14. I am ready: he said to him: Go, and see if all things be well with thy brethren, and the cattle: and bring me word again what is doing. So being sent from the vale of Hebron, he came to Sichem:
15. And a man found him there wandering in the field, and asked what he sought.
16. But he answered: I seek my brethren; tell me where they feed the docks.
