Genesis 37:12-20 ▼

12 His brethren also went to kepe his fathers cattell in Sichem.

13 And Israel sayde vnto Ioseph: do not thy brethren kepe in Sichem? come, and I wyll sende thee to them.

14 He aunswered: here am I. And he sayde vnto hym: Go I praye thee see whether it be well with thy brethren and the cattell, and bryng me worde agayne. And so he sent hym out of the vale of Hebron, & he came to Sichem.

15 And a certayne man founde hym, and beholde he was wandryng out of his waye in the fielde, and the man asked hym: what sekest thou?

16 He aunswered: I seke my brethren, tell me I praye thee where they kepe cattell

17 And the man sayde, They are departed hence: for I haue hearde them say, let vs go vnto Dothan. Thus went Ioseph after his brethren, and founde them in Dothan.

18 And when they sawe hym a farre of, before he came at them, they toke councell agaynst hym for to slea hym.

19 For one sayde to another: behold, this notable dreamer commeth.

20 Come nowe therefore and let vs slaye hym, and cast hym into some pit, and we wyll say, some naughtie beast hath deuoured hym: and we shall see what wyll come of his dreames.
