Midrasch zu Bereschit 37:13

In what lies in the other ark it is written (Exodus 20) "I am the L rd your G d," and of Joseph it is written (Genesis 50:19) "Am I in the place of G d?" In what lies in this ark it is written (Exodus 20) "There shall not be before you any other gods," and of Joseph it is written (Genesis 42:18) "It is G d whom I fear." (Exodus 20) "You shall not take the name of the L rd your G d in vain." And of Joseph it is written (Genesis 42:15) "By the life of Pharaoh," (Joseph not swearing by "the life" of the L rd.) (Exodus 20) "Remember the Sabbath day." Joseph (Genesis 42:16) "slaughter an animal and prepare it," "prepare" alluding to Sabbath eve, it being written here "prepare," and elsewhere (Exodus 16:5) "And it shall be on the sixth day that they shall prepare." (Exodus 20) "Honor your father." Joseph (Genesis 37:13) "And Israel said to Joseph: Are your brothers not grazing (the sheep) in Shechem? Go, and I will send you to them. And he said to him: Here I am" (at your service). Joseph knew that his brothers hated him, but he would not transgress the words of his father. (Exodus 20) "You shall not kill." He did not kill Potiphar (even though he could have.) (Exodus 20) "You shall not commit adultery." He did not commit adultery with the wife of Potiphar. (Exodus 20) "You shall not steal." He did not rob Pharaoh, viz. (Genesis 47:14) "And Joseph collected all of the money, etc." (Exodus 20) "You shall not testify falsely against your neighbor." Joseph did not tell his father what his brothers had done to him. Now does this not follow a fortiori, viz.: If he did not testify (against them) even truthfully, how much more so, falsely! (Exodus 20) "You shall not covet." He did not covet Potiphar's wife.

This is what God said to Israel: My children what do I seek from you? I seek no more than that you love one another, and honor one another, and that you have awe for one another

And his brothers went to pasture sheep (Gen. 37:12) - there are dots on the [direct object marker] ET. This teaches you that they did not go to pasture sheep, rather, it is to pasture themselves. "And Israel said to Yosef: 'aren't your brothers pasturing in Shechem?'" (Gen. 37:13) Rabbi Tanchuma in the name of Rabbi Berachia: he behaved towards [his father] with the appropriate respect: "And he answered him: 'here I am'. Rabbi Chama bar Chanina: Yaakov remembered these words and his internal organs would feel like they were being chopped up: you knew that your brothers hated you, and still you said to me 'here I am.' ""And he said to him, “Go and see how your brothers are and how the flocks are faring" (Gen. 37:14) - it would have been sufficient 'how your brothers are faring', what does 'and the sheep' add? One explanation is that a person should always ask one's fellow about the things that bring sustenance. "And bring me back word.' So he sent him from the valley of Hebron." (Gen. 37:14) Isn't Hebron in the valley? R. Acha said, " He went to fulfill that deep counsel that the Holy One of Blessing gave between Himself and the fine colleague who is buried in Hebron [Abraham] : ' and they shall be enslaved and oppressed' (Genesis 15:13).
