Genesis 37:10-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

10. But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?”

11. And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.

12. Now his brothers went to pasture their father’s flock near Shechem.

13. And Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers pasturing the flock at Shechem? Come, I will send you to them.” And he said to him, “Here I am.”

14. So he said to him, “Go now, see if it is well with your brothers and with the flock, and bring me word.” So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

15. And a man found him wandering in the fields. And the man asked him, “What are you seeking?”

16. “I am seeking my brothers,” he said. “Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock.”
