15. When Joseph reached Shechem, a man found him wandering in the field, so the man asked him, “What are you looking for?”
16. He replied, “I’m looking for my brothers. Please tell me where they are grazing their flocks.”
17. The man said, “They left this area, for I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.’” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
18. Now Joseph’s brothers saw him from a distance, and before he reached them, they plotted to kill him.
19. They said to one another, “Here comes this master of dreams!
20. Come now, let’s kill him, throw him into one of the cisterns, and then say that a wild animal ate him. Then we’ll see how his dreams turn out!”
