Genesi 37:9

And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

Ver. 9. Behold, the sun, and the moon.] The father of the family should be as the sun, full of heavenly light, and illightening all about him: The mother, as the moon, shining out in her husband's absence, and veiling to him, when he is in place. The children, as stars of light, or rather, as a heaven full of stars, as one saith well of Joseph: Fuit Iosephi vita coelum quoddam lucidissimis virtutum stellis exornatum. The people of God are called, "the host of heaven," Dan 8:10 and are bid to shine as lamps, or rather, [φωστηρες ,] as those great lights of heaven. Php 2:15
