FOOTNOTES:

F12 say, this was an angel, the angel Gabriel, in the likeness of a man; but according to Aben Ezra, it was a traveller he met on the road; but it is more probable, as Schimidt observes, that it was some man at work in the field that came upon him and took notice of him:

and, behold, [he was] wandering in the field;
in some field near Shechem, perhaps the same his father Jacob had purchased, and where he expected to have found his brethren, and was looking out for them, going to and fro in search of them; which the labouring man in the field observed:

and the man asked him, saying, what seekest thou?
seeing him walking about, and first looking one way, and then another, concluded he was in search of something, either of some man or of some creature, a sheep or an ox that was lost; and therefore put this question to him, with a view to give him what direction and assistance he could.

Gênesis 37:15 In-Context

13 e Israel disse a José: “Como você sabe, seus irmãos estão apascentando os rebanhos perto de Siquém. Quero que você vá até lá”.“Sim, senhor”, respondeu ele.

14 Disse-lhe o pai: “Vá ver se está tudo bem com os seus irmãos e com os rebanhos, e traga-me notícias”. Jacó o enviou quando estava no vale de Hebrom.Mas José se perdeu quando se aproximava de Siquém;

15 um homem o encontrou vagueando pelos campos e lhe perguntou: “Que é que você está procurando?”

16 Ele respondeu: “Procuro meus irmãos. Pode me dizer onde eles estão apascentando os rebanhos?”

17 Respondeu o homem: “Eles já partiram daqui. Eu os ouvi dizer: ‘Vamos para Dotã’.”Assim José foi em busca dos seus irmãos e os encontrou perto de Dotã.
