“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.”
And Israel said to Joseph: as you know, your brothers are grazing the flocks near Shechem. Come, I am going to send you to them. Very well, Joseph replied. The willingness of Joseph — very well — is the willing obedience of the son sent to his brothers. Genesis 22:7-8 uses the same structure of father sending son. The application: the son who says very well when sent into danger is the son whose obedience will be tested by what he encounters.
