《圣经》（新旧约全书）

小北

约瑟的哥哥们往示剑去放他们父亲的羊。

And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem

小北

以色列对约瑟说，你哥哥们不是在示剑放羊吗。你来，我要打发你往他们那里去。约瑟说，我在这里。

And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I

小北

以色列说，你去看看你哥哥们平安不平安，群羊平安不平安，就回来报信给我。于是打发他出希伯仑谷，他就往示剑去了。

And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem

小北

有人遇见他在田野走迷了路，就问他说，你找什么，

And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?

小北

他说，我找我的哥哥们，求你告诉我，他们在何处放羊。

And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks

小北

那人说，他们已经走了，我听见他们说要往多坍去。约瑟就去追赶他哥哥们，遇见他们在多坍。

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

小北

他们远远地看见他，趁他还没有走到跟前，大家就同谋要害死他，

And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him

小北

彼此说，你看。那作梦的来了。

And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh

小北

来吧。我们将他杀了，丢在一个坑里，就说有恶兽把他吃了。我们且看他的梦将来怎吗样。

Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams

小北

流便听见了，要救他脱离他们的手，说，我们不可害他的性命。

And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him
