Genesis 37:15

וַ יִּמְצָאֵהוּ אִישׁ וְ הִנֵּה תֹעֶה בַּ שָּׂדֶה וַ יִּשְׁאָלֵהוּ הָ אִישׁ לֵ אמֹר מַה תְּבַקֵּשׁ

And a man is finding him, and behold, him-who-wanders in the Field,1170 and the Man is asking him, to say, `What are you seeking?`

Wandering in the Field

This is a very common theme—to wander in a field or wildernress. We see Cain sent to wander, then Abraham sent to wander, then Hagar sent to wander, and now Joseph is sent to wander. In Exodus Israel is sent to wander. This continues throughout the Bible up to even John the Submerger and Jesus.
