15 And a man found him, and behold, he was wandering about in a field. And the man asked him, “What do you seek?”
16 And he said, “I am seeking my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing.”
17 And the man said, “They have moved on from here, for I heard them saying, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’ ” Then Joseph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan.
18 And they saw him from a distance. And before he drew near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
19 And each said to his brothers, “Look, this master of dreams is coming.
20 Now then, come, let us kill him and throw him in one of the pits. Then we will say a wild animal devoured him. Then we will see what his dreams become.”
21 And Reuben heard it and delivered him from their hand and said, “We must not take his life.”
