Genesis 37:12-22
12And his brethrenH251 wentH3212 to feedH7462 their father’sH1 flockH6629 in ShechemH7927. 13And IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, Do not thy brethrenH251 feedH7462 the flock in ShechemH7927? comeH3212, and I will send theeH7971 unto them. And he saidH559 to him, Here am I. 14And he saidH559 to him, GoH3212, I pray thee, seeH7200 whether it be wellH7965 with thy brethrenH251, and wellH7965 with the flocksH6629; and bringH7725 me wordH1697 againH7725. So he sentH7971 him out of the valeH6010 of HebronH2275, and he cameH935 to ShechemH7927.1
15And a certain manH376 found himH4672, and, behold, he was wanderingH8582 in the fieldH7704: and the manH376 asked himH7592, sayingH559, What seekestH1245 thou? 16And he saidH559, I seekH1245 my brethrenH251: tellH5046 me, I pray thee, whereH375 they feedH7462 their flocks. 17And the manH376 saidH559, They are departedH5265 henceH2088; for I heardH8085 them sayH559, Let us goH3212 to DothanH1886. And JosephH3130 wentH3212 afterH310 his brethrenH251, and foundH4672 them in DothanH1886. 18And when they sawH7200 him afar offH7350, even before he came nearH7126 unto them, they conspiredH5230 against him to slayH4191 him. 19And they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, Behold, thisH1976 dreamerH2472H1167 comethH935.2 20ComeH3212 now therefore, and let us slayH2026 him, and castH7993 him into someH259 pitH953, and we will sayH559, Some evilH7451 beastH2416 hath devouredH398 him: and we shall seeH7200 what will become of his dreamsH2472. 21And ReubenH7205 heardH8085 it, and he deliveredH5337 him out of their handsH3027; and saidH559, Let us not killH5315H5221 him. 22And ReubenH7205 saidH559 unto them, ShedH8210 no bloodH1818, but castH7993 him into this pitH953 that is in the wildernessH4057, and layH7971 no handH3027 upon him; that he might ridH5337 him out of their handsH3027, to deliverH7725 him to his fatherH1 againH7725.
