Joseph means Jehovah shall add
1. Joseph was the eleventh son of Jacob, and the first son born to Jacob's second wife, Rachel.
1. Gen 30:22-24
2. Joseph's birth caused great joy for Jacob, who loved Rachel more than his other wives.
3. In fact, at the age of 17th while feeding the flock, he brought an evil report to his Father about his brothers. In my honest opinion, I believe Joseph was a snitch, which is a good thing.
1. Gen 37:2
4. Joseph's father Jacob favored him above his other sons, and gave him a coat of many colors as a symbol of his love. Joseph's brothers became jealous of him because of their father's favoritism.
1. Gen 37:3
5. Joseph had dreams that seemed to indicate he would become their ruler. Not every dream that God gives you is for everyone to hear, including family.
1. Gen 37:5
6. Dream 1: His binding sheaves are stalks of grains that have been cut and bound together. Rose upright. While his brothers sheaves gathered around his sheaves and bowed down. Symbolically it means abundance and prosperity.
7. Dream 2: Sun, Moon, and 11 stars bowed down to him
8. Joseph brothers hated him even more because of his saying regarding the dream
1. Gen 37:4, 8
