Jacob, the father of the tribes of Israel, stirred the wrath of his sons by openly favoring his son Joseph. This is terrible for any family dynamic and Jacob's selfishness was causing terrible rifts among his sons. Joseph, meanwhile, told his brothers about his dreams that they would bow down to him despite the fact that they were so angry about his coat that they could not speak peaceably to him. Joseph was either a smug little brat and rubbed it in or he was completely clueless about why doing that would stir even more wrath against him. Given the wisdom Joseph displays later, it is almost certainly the former.
