And he toldh5608h8762 it to his fatherh1, and to his brethrenh251: and his fatherh1 rebukedh1605h8799 him, and saidh559h8799 unto him, What is this dreamh2472 that thou hast dreamedh2492h8804? Shall I and thy motherh517 and thy brethrenh251 indeedh935h8800 comeh935h8799 to bow downh7812h8692 ourselves to thee to the earthh776?
