12. Now his brothers went to pasture the flock of their father in Shechem.
13. And Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers pasturing in Shechem? Come, let me send you to them.” And he said, “Here I am.”
14. Then he said to him, “Go now, see if it goes well for your brothers and for the flock, then return word to me.” And he sent him from the valley of Hebron, and he arrived at Shechem.
15. And a man found him, and behold, he was wandering about in a field. And the man asked him, “What do you seek?”
16. And he said, “I am seeking my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing.”
17. And the man said, “They have moved on from here, for I heard them saying, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’ ” Then Joseph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan.
