Gen Z: Genesis 47
1Joseph slid into Pharaoh's DMs, like, "Yo, my fam and their crew are here from Canaan, chilling in Goshen."
2He grabbed five of his bros and brought them to Pharaoh, no cap.
3Pharaoh asked them, "So what's your hustle?" They replied, "We’re all about that shepherd life, fr."
4They added, "We came here to vibe because there's no grass for our flocks back in Canaan; it's a whole famine situation."
5Pharaoh told Joseph, "Your dad and your bros are here, fam."
6"Egypt's got mad land; let your fam chill in the best spots, like Goshen. If you got any hard workers, make them my crew for the cattle."
7Joseph brought his dad Jacob to meet Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed him, straight up.
8Pharaoh asked Jacob, "How old are you, my dude?"
9Jacob replied, "I’ve been vibing for 130 years, but honestly, it’s been rough; I haven't hit the years my fam lived during their journeys."
10Jacob blessed Pharaoh again and bounced from his presence.
11Joseph brought his fam and gave them the best spot in Egypt, just like Pharaoh said. Goated move.
12Joseph hooked up his fam with bread, keeping it all chill for their crew.
13But yo, there was no bread anywhere; the famine was wild, and Egypt and Canaan were struggling hard.
14Joseph scooped up all the cash in Egypt and Canaan for the corn they bought and brought it to Pharaoh's crib.
15When cash ran dry, all the Egyptians hit up Joseph, like, “We need bread or we’re toast!”
16Joseph was like, “Trade me your cattle, I got you if the cash is sus.”
17They brought their cattle to Joseph, and he gave them bread for their horses and flocks, keeping everyone fed for that year.
18When the year wrapped up, they came back to him, like, “We gotta be real, our cash is gone, and we’re out of cattle too.”
19“Why should we die here, us and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we’ll be Pharaoh's crew, just give us seeds to survive.”
20So Joseph bought all of Egypt for Pharaoh since everyone sold their fields, and the land became Pharaoh's.
21So, he moved the people to cities all over Egypt, like, from one side to the other.
22The priests? Nah, they kept their land 'cause Pharaoh hooked them up with food.
23Joseph told the people, "Yo, I just bought you and your land for Pharaoh. Here’s some seeds, go plant that!"
24When you harvest, just remember to give Pharaoh one-fifth of it, and the rest is all yours for food and fam.
25They were like, "You saved our lives! We’ll be Pharaoh’s servants, no cap."
26Joseph made it a rule in Egypt that Pharaoh gets his fifth, except for the priests’ land, that was off-limits.
27Israel lived in Egypt, in Goshen, and they were thriving, like, multiplying hard.
28Jacob hung out in Egypt for seventeen years, living his best life at 147.
29When it was time for Israel to kick the bucket, he called Joseph and said, "If I’ve got your rizz, put your hand under my thigh and promise me, don’t bury me in Egypt."
30"I wanna chill with my ancestors, take me outta Egypt and bury me where they are." Joseph was like, "Bet, I got you."
31He was like, "Promise me," and dude promised. Then Israel straight up bowed down on the bed.
