Genesis 37:9-36 The Message (MSG)

9. He had another dream and told this one also to his brothers: “I dreamed another dream—the sun and moon and eleven stars bowed down to me!”

14. He said, “Go and see how your brothers and the flocks are doing and bring me back a report.” He sent him off from the valley of Hebron to Shechem.

15. A man met him as he was wandering through the fields and asked him, “What are you looking for?”

16. “I’m trying to find my brothers. Do you have any idea where they are grazing their flocks?”

17. The man said, “They’ve left here, but I overheard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.’” So Joseph took off, tracked his brothers down, and found them in Dothan.

28. By that time the Midianite traders were passing by. His brothers pulled Joseph out of the cistern and sold him for twenty pieces of silver to the Ishmaelites who took Joseph with them down to Egypt.

33. He recognized it at once. “My son’s coat—a wild animal has eaten him. Joseph torn limb from limb!”

36. In Egypt the Midianites sold Joseph to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh’s officials, manager of his household affairs.
