Joseph Sold into Egypt

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.
