9. And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamt another dream, and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.
10. And he told it to his father and to his brethren. And his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream which thou hast dreamt? Shall we indeed come, I and thy mother and thy brethren, to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
11. And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the saying.
12. And his brethren went to feed their father's flock at Shechem.
13. And Israel said to Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock at Shechem? Come, that I may send thee to them. And he said to him, Here am I.
14. And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see after the welfare of thy brethren, and after the welfare of the flock; and bring me word again. And he sent him out of the vale of Hebron; and he came towards Shechem.
15. And a man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the country; and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16. And he said, I am seeking my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.
17. And the man said, They have removed from this; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them at Dothan.
18. And when they saw him from afar, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to put him to death.
19. And they said one to another, Behold, there comes that dreamer!
20. And now come and let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, An evil beast has devoured him; and we will see what becomes of his dreams.
