Oh Joseph, what a silly little kid. I can't imagine ever telling my brothers and sisters that I had a dream that they all bowed down to me. They probably wouldn't throw me into a pit or sell me to the Catholics, but they certainly wouldn't appreciate my big head. Lucky for Joseph, Reuben has a bit of sense and keeps the other brothers from killing him.
God favored Able and Jacob favors Joseph and nothing good comes from either. As a father, I wonder about the future and for some reason favoring one kid over another. Maybe David cures cancer and James is in a garage band. Or maybe James pitches in the major leagues and David is still carrying a lunchbox with animals. Its not something I actually worry about, but you wonder as a dad because you always hear those stories where one kid just doesn't feel as special as the other.
