37:12 When his brothers had gone to graze their father’s flocks near Shechem, 37:13 Israel said to Joseph, “Your brothers ¹  are grazing the flocks near Shechem. Come, I will send you to them.” “I’m ready,” ²  Joseph replied. ³  37:14 So Jacob ⁴  said to him, “Go now and check on ⁵  the welfare ⁶  of your brothers and of the flocks, and bring me word.” So Jacob ⁷  sent him from the valley of Hebron.

37:15 When Joseph reached Shechem, ⁸  a man found him wandering ⁹  in the field, so the man asked him, “What are you looking for?” 37:16 He replied, “I’m looking for my brothers. Please tell ¹⁰  me where they are grazing their flocks.” 37:17 The man said, “They left this area, ¹¹  for I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.’” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
