Genesis 37:12-17

12Then his brothers went to pasture their father’s flock in Shechem. 13Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers pasturing the flock in 1Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” And he said to him, “2I will go.” 14Then he said to him, “Go now and see about the welfare of your brothers and the welfare of the flock, and bring word back to me.” So he sent him from the valley of 3Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

15A man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field; and the man asked him, “4What are you looking for?” 16He said, “I am looking for my brothers; please tell me where they are pasturing the flock.” 17Then the man said, “They have moved from here; for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to 5Dothan.’” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
