36:35-37:12
[36:35] And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith.
[36:36] And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead.
[36:37] And Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth by the River reigned in his stead.
[36:38] And Shaul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead.
[36:39] And Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-zahab.
[36:40] And these are the names of the chiefs that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names: chief Timna, chief Alvah, chief Jetheth,
[36:41] chief Oholibamah, chief Elah, chief Pinon,
[36:42] chief Kenaz, chief Teman, chief Mibzar,
[36:43] chief Magdiel, chief Iram: these are the chiefs of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession. This is Esau, the father of the Edomites.
[37:1] And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father’s sojournings, in the land of Canaan.
[37:2] These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought the evil report of them unto their father.
[37:3] Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.
[37:4] And his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren; and they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
[37:5] And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
[37:6] And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
[37:7] for, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves came round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
[37:8] And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
[37:9] And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed yet a dream; and, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me.
[37:10] And he told it to his father, and to his brethren; and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
[37:11] And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the saying in mind.
[37:12] And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.

Prophetic Rejectionethics
The phenomenon where spiritual messengers or healers are rejected by their own community due to familiarity or lack of awe.
Joseph receives prophetic dreams and shares them with his family, but is met with hatred from his brothers and rebuke from his father — a clear instance of the messager being rejected by his own community due to familiarity and lack of awe.
