MYSTERY MAN?

STRANGEST THINGS OF THE BIBLE

JOSEPHS BROTHERS WERE JEALOUS

 AFTER HEARING JOSEPHS TWO DREAMS

"And his brothers were jealous of him, but his

father kept the saying in mind."  Genesis 37:11  ESV

All of Joseph's brothers were sent out to work,

watching the sheep.

"Now his brothers went to pasture their father's

flock near Shechem."  Genesis 37:12  ESV

While Joseph the youngest, had an easy job of

 going out, to see if his brothers are doing well.

"And Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers pasturing the flock at Shechem? Come, I will send you to them.” And he said to him, “Here I am.” So he said to him, “Go now, see if it is well with your brothers and with the flock, and bring me word.” So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem."  Genesis 37:13-15  ESV

When Joseph arrived at Shechem, the flock of sheep and his brothers were no where to be found.  A MYSTERY MAN approached Joseph.

"And a man found him wandering in the fields.  And the man asked him, “What are you seeking?” “I am seeking my brothers,” he said. “Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock.” And the man said, “They have gone away, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan."  Genesis 37:15-17  ESV

Why did his brothers go to Dothan, about 15 miles north/west of Shechem. 
Who is this mystery man who led Joseph to Dothan?

"They saw him from afar, and before he

 came near to them they conspired against him

 to kill him. They said to one another, “Here

 comes this dreamer.  

Genesis 37:11-18-19  ESV  (English Standard Version)

Had it not been for the MYSTERY MAN,

Joseph's destiny may have never

 changed.
