Genesis 37:9 (KJV)
And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words. 9. And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
Despite a harsh reaction from his ten older half-brothers, after telling them about his first dream (Genesis 37:5–8), Joseph decides to describe his next prophetic dream. In this one, he has seen the sun, moon, and eleven stars bowing down to him. This is even more dramatic and casts Joseph, in the eyes of his family members, as even more arrogant and self-serving. To see the sun, moon, and stars bowing to him seems presumptuous enough. To make it clear that those astral bodies represent his father and 11 brothers groveling before him only increases their bitterness (Genesis 37:4).
