Genesis 12

Gen Z: Genesis 12

1God was like, "Yo Abram, bounce from your hood and fam, I'm sending you to a new spot I’ll show you."

2"I’m gonna make you a lit nation, bless you, and your name’s gonna be legendary; you’ll be a whole vibe."

3"Anyone who’s got your back, I got their back too, but if you come at them, it’s on; all the fams on Earth will be blessed through you."

4So Abram dipped out, just like God told him, and Lot rolled with him. Abram was 75 when he left Haran, no cap.

5Abram grabbed Sarai, his wifey, Lot, and all their stuff they had stacked up, and they headed to Canaan, pulling up in that land.

6Abram cruised through the land to Sichem, hitting the plain of Moreh. Canaanites were chilling there too.

7God showed up to Abram and said, "I’m giving this land to your kids; build me an altar right here."

8He moved to a mountain east of Beth-el, set up his tent with Beth-el on the west and Hai on the east, built an altar for God, and prayed.

9Abram kept it moving, heading south, just vibing.

10There was a major famine in the land, so Abram dipped to Egypt to chill for a bit; the struggle was real out there.

11So, when he was about to roll into Egypt, he told his wifey Sarai, "Yo, you fine AF."

12He was like, "When the Egyptians see you, they’ll know you’re my wifey and I’m gonna be toast, but you’ll be chill."

13Just say you’re my sis, and I’ll be good, fr; I’ll stay alive because of you.

14When Abram hit Egypt, the Egyptians couldn’t help but notice how hot she was.

15Pharaoh’s squad peeped her and hyped her up to Pharaoh; she got taken straight to his crib.

16Abram got treated like a king because of her; he scored sheep, oxen, and a whole crew of servants.

17But then God hit Pharaoh and his crew with some major plagues 'cause of Sarai, Abram’s wifey.

18Pharaoh called Abram and asked, "What’s the deal? Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife?"

19He was like, "Why say she’s my sister? I could’ve married her! Take your wife back and bounce."

20Pharaoh told his guys to handle it, and they kicked him, his wifey, and all his stuff out.

KJV: Genesis 12

1Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

4So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

5And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

6And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.

7And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him.

8And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beth–el, and pitched his tent, having Beth–el on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the Lord, and called upon the name of the Lord.

9And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.

10And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.

11And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:

12Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.

13Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.

14And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.

15The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.

16And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.

17And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram’s wife.

18And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?

19Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.

20And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
