15. When he arrived there, a man from the area noticed him wandering around the countryside. “What are you looking for?” he asked.
16. “I’m looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Do you know where they are pasturing their sheep?”
17. “Yes,” the man told him. “They have moved on from here, but I heard them say, ‘Let’s go on to Dothan.’” So Joseph followed his brothers to Dothan and found them there.
