Joseph was born in Haran, Mesopotamia, to Jacob and Rachel. When he was six, his family moved to Canaan and settled in Hebron. Jacob, showing special affection for Joseph, who was born in his old age, gave him a uniquely crafted garment. This favoritism sparked jealousy among his brothers, particularly those born to Jacob's other wife, Leah. The tension grew when Joseph shared two dreams in which he was depicted as ruling over his family. In the first dream, the brothers' wheat bundles bowed to his bundle. In the second, the sun, moon, and eleven stars, representing his parents and brothers, bowed to him.
