Joseph had 11 brothers. Ten of these were born of Leah and Jacob, and Joseph and his little brother Benjamin were born of Rachel and Jacob. Until Benjamin was born, Joseph was Jacob's favourite son because his mother Rachel was his favourite wife. This made the other brothers feel rejected and feel resentful towards Joseph. Also, Joseph was quite nieve and told his brothers about the dreams he had where he had become more important than them, making the brothers despise him even more. Rachel died giving birth to Benjamin.
