Genesis 45

Gen Z: Genesis 45

1Joseph couldn’t hold it in anymore with everyone there, so he told them to bounce. Only he and his bros were left, and he revealed himself to them.

2He was crying loud, and the Egyptians and Pharaoh’s crew heard him.

3Joseph said to his bros, “Yo, I’m Joseph! Is Dad still alive?” But they were shook and couldn’t respond.

4He told them, “Come closer, fam.” They stepped up, and he was like, “I’m your brother Joseph, the one you sold to Egypt.”

5So chill, don’t be salty about selling me; God sent me ahead to save lives, no cap.

6It’s been a famine for two years, and we’ve got five more to go with no food or harvest.

7God sent me ahead to keep your fam alive and pull off a major rescue.

8So it’s not you who sent me here, but God; He made me a boss to Pharaoh, head of his whole crew, and ruler of Egypt.

9Hurry up and go tell my dad, “Yo, Joseph says God made me lord of all Egypt. Come through and don’t take your time!”

10You’ll chill in Goshen, close to me, you, your kids, grandkids, flocks, and all your stuff.

11I got you, fam; I’ll hook you up for five more years of famine vibes, so you don’t end up broke.

12Yo, you see me and my bro Benjamin vibing, it’s me talking to you.

13Tell my dad about all the lit stuff I got going on in Egypt, and hurry up, bring him here!

14He hugged Benjamin and was straight-up crying; Benjamin was feeling it too.

15He showed love to all his bros with hugs and tears, and then they started chatting it up.

16Word got around Pharaoh's crib that Joseph's fam showed up, and he was totally down with it.

17Pharaoh told Joseph, “Yo, tell your bros to load up their rides and bounce back to Canaan.”

18Bring your dad and your whole crew to me, and I’ll hook you up with the best of Egypt’s vibes.

19For real, grab some wagons for your kids and wives, and bring your dad back here.

20Don’t even stress about your stuff; the good stuff in Egypt is all yours, no cap.

21The fam of Israel pulled up and did what Joseph said. He hooked them up with rides and snacks for the trip, no cap.

22He blessed each dude with fresh fits, but to Benjamin, he threw in 300 silver coins and three fresh outfits.

23He sent his dad ten donkeys stacked with the best stuff from Egypt, plus ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread for the journey.

24Then he told his bros, "Ayo, don’t mess up on the way back."

25They dipped out of Egypt and rolled into Canaan to see Jacob, their pops.

26They hit him with the news: "Joseph’s alive, and he’s running the whole Egypt scene." Jacob was shook and couldn’t believe it, fr.

27They spilled all the tea about what Joseph said, and when he saw the rides Joseph sent, it brought him back to life, vibes restored.

28Israel was like, "That’s lit; my son Joseph is alive! I’m gonna see him before I kick the bucket."

KJV: Genesis 45

1Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.

2And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.

3And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.

4And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.

5Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.

6For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.

7And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

8So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

9Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:

10And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:

11And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.

12And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.

13And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.

14And he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.

15Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.

16And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, Joseph’s brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.

17And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;

18And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.

19Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.

20Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.

21And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.

22To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.

23And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.

24So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.

25And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,

26And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob’s heart fainted, for he believed them not.

27And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:

28And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
