12His brothers went to feed their father`s flock in Shechem.
13Israel said to Joseph, "Aren`t your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." He said to him, "Here I am."
14He said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again." So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, "What are you looking for?"
16He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are feeding the flock."
17The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, `Let us go to Dothan.`" Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
