13. Israel said to Joseph, "Aren’t your brothers tending the sheep near Shechem? Come, I’ll send you to them."And he said, "I’m ready."
14. Jacob said to him, "Go! Find out how your brothers are and how the flock is, and report back to me."So Jacob sent him from the Hebron Valley. When he approached Shechem,
15. a man found him wandering in the field and asked him, "What are you looking for?"
16. Joseph said, "I’m looking for my brothers. Tell me, where are they tending the sheep?"
17. The man said, "They left here. I heard them saying, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.’" So Joseph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan.
18. They saw Joseph in the distance before he got close to them, and they plotted to kill him.
