Context — Joseph Sold into Egypt
15a man found him wandering in the field and asked, “What are you looking for?”
16“I am looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Can you please tell me where they are pasturing their flocks?”
17“They have moved on from here,” the man answered. “I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” So Joseph set out after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
18Now Joseph’s brothers saw him in the distance, and before he arrived, they plotted to kill him. 19“Here comes that dreamer!” they said to one another.Cross References

Genesis 37:17 Summary
[Genesis 37:17 tells us that Joseph found out where his brothers were by asking a man in the field, and then he went to find them in a place called Dothan. This shows that Joseph was determined to do what his father, Jacob, had asked him to do. Just like Joseph, we can learn to be obedient and responsible, even when it's hard, by trusting in God's plan, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11. By following God's guidance, we can experience His peace and provision, as promised in Isaiah 26:3.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the man in the field tell Joseph where his brothers were?
The man in the field told Joseph where his brothers were because Joseph had asked for their location, and the man had overheard them discussing their plans to go to Dothan, as seen in Genesis 37:17.
What can we learn from Joseph's persistence in searching for his brothers?
Joseph's persistence in searching for his brothers, as seen in Genesis 37:17, teaches us the importance of perseverance and seeking to fulfill our responsibilities, even when faced with challenges, much like the apostle Paul's encouragement in Philippians 3:14 to press on towards the goal.
How does this verse relate to the overall story of Joseph?
This verse, Genesis 37:17, sets the stage for the pivotal events that will unfold in Joseph's life, including his brothers' plot against him, as seen in Genesis 37:18, and his eventual rise to prominence in Egypt, as foretold in Genesis 37:5-11.
What role does obedience play in this verse?
Joseph's decision to follow his father's instructions and search for his brothers, as seen in Genesis 37:12-17, demonstrates obedience, which is a key theme throughout the Bible, including in verses like John 14:15 and 1 Samuel 15:22.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can demonstrate perseverance and responsibility in my own life, just like Joseph did in Genesis 37:17?
- How can I apply the principle of obedience, as seen in Joseph's actions, to my own relationships and decisions?
- What are some potential consequences of not following God's guidance, as Joseph's brothers were about to experience?
- In what ways can I trust God's sovereignty, even when faced with challenging circumstances, like Joseph did in Genesis 37:17?

Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 37:17
Genesis 37:17 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.Ver. 17. And found them in Dothan.] That is, In Defection. So found our Saviour his lost sheep, in utter defection, both of doctrine and manners: some four, or fewer, "that looked for the consolation of Israel."
Ellicott's Commentary on Genesis 37:17
(17) Dothan.—This town was twelve miles north of Shechem, and is famous as being the place where Elisha struck the Syrian army with blindness (2 Kings 6:13-23) It is situated in a small but fertile valley, and Jacob’s sons, having exhausted the produce of the larger plain round Shechem, had moved northward thither. Not having found them at Shechem, Joseph did not know where to go, but wandered about “in the field”—the open downs—till he met some one who could give him information. Had he been a practised hunter, like Esau, he would have followed them by the tracks of the cattle.
Cambridge Bible on Genesis 37:17
17. Dothan] Familiar to us as the name of the city in which Elisha was beset by foes and divinely protected (2 Kings 6:13-15). The modern Tel Dothan probably preserves the site, a hill on the S. side of the plain of Jezreel, and some 15 miles N. of Shechem. It is mentioned frequently in the book of Judith. Modern writers speak of its rich pasturage.
Whedon's Commentary on Genesis 37:17
