Genesis 37:13-17

International Children’s Bible

¹³ Jacob said to Joseph, “Go to Shechem. Your brothers are there herding the sheep.”

Joseph answered, “I will go.”

¹⁴ His father said, “Go and see if your brothers and the sheep are all right. Then come back and tell me.” So Joseph’s father sent him from the Valley of Hebron.

When Joseph came to Shechem, ¹⁵ a man found him wandering in the field. He asked Joseph, “What are you looking for?”

¹⁶ Joseph answered, “I am looking for my brothers. Can you tell me where they are herding the sheep?”

¹⁷ The man said, “They have already gone. I heard them say they were going to Dothan.” So Joseph went to look for his brothers and found them in Dothan.
