 \v 10 He told it to his father just as to his brothers, and his father rebuked him. He said to him, "What is this dream that you have dreamed? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come to bow down to the ground to you?"

 \v 14 He said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flock, and bring me word." So Jacob sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and Joseph went to Shechem.

 \v 19 His brothers said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is approaching.
