Joseph had dreamed that he and his brothers were working in the field and that his brothers' sheaves bowed for his sheaf. After that, he dreamed that the sun, the moon and eleven stars also bowed for him. Joseph here tells his dreams to his father Jacob. His mother Rachel and brothers are also listening.

To the left Lucas van Leyden shows the moment Joseph enters the room.
