Genesis 37:5 Context
3Now Israel loued Ioseph more then all his children, because he was the sonne of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours. 4And when his brethren saw that their father loued him more then all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speake peaceably vnto him. 5¶ And Ioseph dreamed a dreame, and he told it his brethren, and they hated him yet the more. 6And he said vnto them, Heare, I pray you, this dreame which I haue dreamed. 7For beholde, wee were binding sheaues in the field, and loe, my sheafe arose, and also stood vpright; and behold, your sheaues stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheafe.

Wesley's Notes for Genesis 37:5
37:5 Though he was now very young, about seventeen years old, yet he was pious and devout, and this fitted him for God's gracious discoveries to him. Joseph had a great deal of trouble before him, and therefore God gave him betimes this prospect of his advancement, to support and comfort him.
