11. His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.
12. His brothers had gone to pasture their father’s flocks at Shechem.
13. Israel said to Joseph, “Your brothers, you know, are pasturing the flocks at Shechem. Get ready. I’m sending you to them.”“I’m ready,” Joseph replied.
14. Then Israel said to him, “Go and see how your brothers and the flocks are doing, and bring word back to me.” So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he went to Shechem.
15. A man found him there, wandering in the field, and asked him, “What are you looking for? ”
16. “I’m looking for my brothers,” Joseph said. “Can you tell me where they are pasturing their flocks? ”
17. “They’ve moved on from here,” the man said. “I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.’ ” So Joseph set out after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
