Genesis 37:12-22

12And his brethren went to feedH7462 their father’sH1 flockH6629 in ShechemH7927. 13And IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, Are not thy brethren feeding the flock in ShechemH7927? come, and I will sendH7971 thee unto them. And he saidH559 to him, HereH2009 am I. 14And he saidH559 to him, GoH935 now, seeH7200 whether it is well with thy brethren, and well with the flockH6629; and bringH935 me wordH1697 again. So he sentH7971 him out of the vale of HebronH2275, and he cameH935 to ShechemH7927. 15And a certain manH376 foundH4672 him, and, behold, he was wanderingH8582 in the fieldH7704: and the manH376 askedH7592 him, sayingH559, What seekest thou? 16And he saidH559, I am seekingH1245 my brethren: tellH5046 me, I pray thee, whereH375 they are feeding the flock. 17And the manH376 saidH559, They are departedH5265 hence; for I heardH8085 them sayH559, Let us go to DothanH1886. And JosephH3130 went after his brethren, and foundH4672 them in DothanH1886.

18And they sawH7200 him afarH7350 off, and before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. 19And they saidH559 oneH376 to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. 20Come nowH6258 thereforeH6258, and let us slayH2026 him, and castH7993 him into oneH259 of the pitsH953, and we will sayH559, An evilH7451 beast hath devouredH398 him: and we shall seeH7200 what will becomeH1961 of his dreamsH2472. 21And ReubenH7205 heardH8085 it, and deliveredH5337 him out of their handH3027, and saidH559, Let us not take his lifeH5315. 22And ReubenH7205 saidH559 unto them, ShedH8210 no bloodH1818; castH7993 him into this pitH953 that is in the wildernessH4057, but lay no handH3027 upon him: that he might deliverH5337 him out of their handH3027, to restoreH7725 him to his fatherH1.
