Génesis 37:12 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 37:12

And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in
Shechem.
] Very probably some considerable time after the telling of the above dreams; it was usual to remove flocks from place to place for the sake of pasturage; and sometimes at a great distance, as Shechem was from Hebron, where Jacob now dwelt, said F9 to be about sixty miles; but this is not so much to be marvelled at as the place itself, whither they went, for though Jacob had bought a parcel of a field in this place, ( Genesis 33:19 ) ; which might be a reason for their going thither to feed their father's flocks in his own field; yet it was the place where they had committed a most outrageous action in destroying all, the males there, and therefore might fear the inhabitants of the neighbouring cities would rise upon them and cut them off.

Génesis 37:12 In-Context

10 Y él lo contó a su padre y a sus hermanos; y su padre lo reprendió, y le dijo: ¿Qué es este sueño que has tenido? ¿Acaso yo, tu madre y tus hermanos vendremos a inclinarnos hasta el suelo ante ti?
11 Y sus hermanos le tenían envidia, pero su padre reflexionaba sobre lo dicho.
12 Después sus hermanos fueron a apacentar el rebaño de su padre en Siquem.
13 E Israel dijo a José: ¿No están tus hermanos apacentando el rebaño en Siquem? Ven y te enviaré a ellos. Y él le dijo: Iré.
14 Entonces Israel le dijo: Ve ahora y mira cómo están tus hermanos y cómo está el rebaño; y tráeme noticias de ellos. Lo envió, pues, desde el valle de Hebrón, y José fue a Siquem.
