“For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.”
We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it. The dream of the sheaves is the first of two dreams that confirm Joseph's eventual elevation. The content — brothers bowing — is exactly what the brothers will eventually do in Egypt. The application: the dreams that Joseph tells his brothers are the prophetic content of Genesis — the whole Joseph story is implicit in the dream of the bowing sheaves.
