Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 37:12-22

Some suggest that they went thither on purpose, expecting that Joseph would be sent to see them, and that then they should have an opportunity to do him a mischief. However, Joseph and his father had both of them more of the innocence of the dove than of the wisdom of the serpent, else he had never come thus into the hands of those that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 37:13

And Israel said unto Joseph ,.... After his brethren had been gone some time to Shechem: do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem ? this question is put, not as ignorant of it, or doubting about it, but to put Joseph in mind of it, and in order to what follows: come, and I will send thee unto them ; which is pretty much he should, considering the length of the way, sixty miles, the dangerous place in which they were feeding their flocks, and especially seeing his brethren... read more

And Israel (vide Genesis 32:28 ; Genesis 35:10 ) said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock (literally, Are not thy brethren shepherding? ) in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. Either he was solicitous of the safety of his sons while in the vicinity of Shechem (Lawson), or he hoped to effect a reconciliation between them and Joseph (Candlish). And he ( i.e. Joseph, in response to this invitation, expressed a willingness to undertake a mission to his... read more

"And his brothers went to feed their father's flock in Shechem. And Israel said unto Joseph, Are not thy brethren feeding the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them.

13-17. Israel said, . . . Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem?—Anxious to learn how his sons were doing in their distant encampment, Jacob despatched Joseph; and the youth, accepting the mission with alacrity, left the vale of Hebron, sought them at Shechem, heard of them from a man in "the field" (the wide and richly cultivated plain of Esdraelon), and found that they had left that neighborhood for Dothan, probably being compelled by the detestation in which, from the horrid... read more
