Genesis 18

Gen Z: Genesis 18

1God showed up to him in Mamre, chilling by the tent door in the heatwave.

2He looked up and saw three dudes standing there, so he ran over and bowed down, no cap.

3He was like, "My Lord, if you’re feeling my vibe, don’t bounce on me, please."

4"Let me grab some water to wash your feet and chill under the tree."

5"I’ll get you some bread to snack on, then you can bounce. You came to my crib, so let’s vibe." They were like, "Bet, let’s do it."

6Abraham rushed into the tent and told Sarah, "Yo, whip up three measures of fine flour and make some cakes, quick!"

7He dashed to the herd, grabbed a tender calf, and handed it to a young guy to prep it, fr.

8He brought butter, milk, and the cooked calf, served it up, and stood by them under the tree while they chowed down.

9They asked him, "Where’s Sarah, your wife?" He said, "She’s in the tent, chilling."

10He said, "I’ll be back when the timing’s right; Sarah’s gonna have a son." Sarah heard it from the tent behind him, and you know she was shook.

11So, Abraham and Sarah were pretty old, like way past the usual age; Sarah was done with the whole baby-making thing, no cap.

12Sarah was low-key laughing to herself, thinking, “Am I really gonna have a kid now that we're ancient, my dude?”

13Then the Lord was like, “Yo, why did Sarah laugh? She really thinks I can’t hook her up with a baby, even though she’s old?”

14Is anything too tough for the Lord? When the time’s right, I’ll swing back around, and Sarah's gonna have a son, fr.

15But Sarah was like, “I didn’t laugh,” 'cause she was shook. The Lord was all, “Nah, you definitely laughed.”

16The guys got up and checked out Sodom, and Abraham was like, “Let me walk you out, fam.”

17Then the Lord was like, “Should I keep this from Abraham?”

18Since Abraham’s gonna be a big deal and all the nations are gonna vibe off him?

19I know he’s gonna teach his fam to keep it real with justice, so I gotta come through for Abraham like I said.

20The Lord said, “The cries from Sodom and Gomorrah are wild, and their sins are straight-up savage.”

21I'ma slide down now and check if the vibes are as wild as the rumors say; if not, I'll know for sure.

22The dudes bounced towards Sodom, but Abraham was still there, chillin' with the Lord.

23Abraham stepped up and asked, "You really gonna wipe out the good people with the bad ones?"

24What if there are fifty good peeps in the city? You gonna destroy it and not save it for them?

25Nah, that ain't your style to treat the good like the bad; the ultimate Judge gotta keep it real, right?

26The Lord replied, "If I find fifty good ones in Sodom, I’ll totally spare the whole place for them."

27Abraham said, "Yo, I’m just dust and ashes, but I’m here talkin’ to you, Lord."

28What if five are missing from the fifty? You gonna wipe out the whole city for that? He said, "If I find forty-five, I won’t do it."

29He asked again, "What if there are forty?" And God said, "I won’t do it for forty's sake."

30Abraham was like, "Please don’t be mad, but what about thirty?!" God replied, "I won’t do it if I find thirty."

31He was like, "Yo, what if there are twenty good peeps? You won't wreck the place for them, right?" God was like, "No cap, I got you."

32He goes, "Ayo, don't be mad, but what if there are ten? You still chill with that?" God was like, "I won't destroy it for ten, fam."

33God dipped after chatting with Abraham, and Abraham just went back to his spot.

KJV: Genesis 18

1And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

2And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

3And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

4Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

5And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.

6And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.

7And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.

8And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.

9And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.

10And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.

11Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

12Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?

13And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?

14Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

15Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.

16And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.

17And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

18Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

19For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

20And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

21I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.

22And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the Lord.

23And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

24Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

25That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

26And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

27And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:

28Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.

29And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake.

30And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.

31And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake.

32And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.

33And the Lord went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
