Genesis 37:15 And a certain man376 found him,4672 and, behold, he was wandering8582 in the field:7704 and the man376 asked him,7592 saying,559 What seekest1245 thou? cr 16 And he said,559 I seek1245 my brethren:251 tell5046 me, I pray thee, where375 they feed7462 their flocks. cr 17 And the man376 said,559 They are departed5265 hence;2088 for I heard8085 them say,559 Let us go3212 to Dothan.1886 And Joseph3130 went3212 after310 his brethren,251 and found4672 them in Dothan.1886 cr 18 And when they saw7200 him afar off,7350 even before he came near7126 unto them, they conspired5230 against him to slay4191 him. cr 19 And they said559 one376 to another,251 Behold, this1976 dreamer1167 2472{Heb. master of dreams} cometh.935 cr 20 Come3212 now therefore, and let us slay2026 him, and cast7993 him into some259 pit,953 and we will say,559 Some evil7451 beast2416 hath devoured398 him: and we shall see7200 what will become of his dreams.2472 cr 21 And Reuben7205 heard8085 it, and he delivered5337 him out of their hands;3027 and said,559 Let us not kill5221 5315 him. cr 22 And Reuben7205 said559 unto them, Shed8210 no blood,1818 but cast7993 him into this pit953 that is in the wilderness,4057 and lay7971 no hand3027 upon him; that he might rid5337 him out of their hands,3027 to deliver7725 2794 him to his father1 again.7725 cr
