Genesis 37 — Context

He related it to his father and to his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, "What is this dream that you have had? Shall I and your mother and your brothers actually come to bow ourselves down before you to the ground?"

His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.

Then his brothers went to pasture their father's flock in Shechem.

Israel said to Joseph, "Are not your brothers pasturing the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." And he said to him, "I will go."

Then 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 Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

A man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field; and the man asked him, "What are you looking for?"

He said, "I am looking for my brothers; please tell me where they are pasturing the flock."
