“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.”
So he said to him: go and see if all is well with your brothers and with the flocks, and bring word back to me. Then he sent him off from the Valley of Hebron. Joseph went to look for his brothers and found them near Dothan. The task is straightforward: go, check, report back. The same mission Joseph was given in Genesis 37:2 — checking on his brothers and reporting. The application: the task given in good faith by a loving father contains the danger neither can see.
