Genesis 37:12-20 ▼

12 And his brothers go to feed the flock of their father in Shechem,

13 and Israel says to Joseph, “Are your brothers not feeding in Shechem? Come, and I send you to them”; and he says to him, “Here I [am]”;

14 and he says to him, “Now go see the peace of your brothers, and the peace of the flock, and bring me back word”; and he sends him from the Valley of Hebron, and he comes to Shechem.

15 And a man finds him, and behold, he is wandering in the field, and the man asks him, saying, “What do you seek?”

16 And he says, “I am seeking my brothers, please declare to me where they are feeding.”

17 And the man says, “They have journeyed from this, for I have heard some saying, Let us go to Dothan,” and Joseph goes after his brothers, and finds them in Dothan.

18 And they see him from afar, even before he draws near to them, and they conspire against him to put him to death.

19 And they say to one another, “Behold, this man of the dreams comes;

20 and now, come, and we slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and have said, An evil beast has devoured him; and we see what his dreams are.”
