Gen Z: Genesis 28
1Isaac hit up Jacob, blessed him, and was like, "Don’t catch feelings for any Canaanite girls, fam."
2He said, "Get up, go to Padan–aram, to your grandpa Bethuel’s crib; find yourself a wife from Laban, your mom’s bro."
3And God Almighty got your back, making you super fruitful and multiplying you, so you’re basically a whole squad.
4He’s giving you the blessing of Abraham, for you and your future fam, so you can own the land where you’re chillin', which God gave to Abraham.
5Isaac sent Jacob off, and he dipped to Padan–aram to Laban, Bethuel’s son, who’s Rebekah's bro, Jacob's and Esau's mom.
6When Esau peeped that Isaac blessed Jacob and sent him to Padan–aram for a wife, he was like, "No cap, Dad said don’t mess with Canaanite girls."
7And Jacob was following the fam rules, heading to Padan–aram.
8Esau saw that the Canaanite girls were not giving Isaac good vibes.
9So Esau rolled up to Ishmael and took Mahalath, Ishmael’s daughter, as one of his wives.
10Jacob bounced from Beer–sheba and was on his way to Haran.
11He pulled up to a spot and chilled there all night 'cause the sun was down; grabbed some stones for pillows and knocked out.
12He had a dream, and there was this ladder chillin' on the earth reaching up to heaven, with angels going up and down like it was no big deal.
13And God was there, saying, "Yo, I’m the Lord, the God of your pops Abraham and your dude Isaac; this land you’re on? It’s all yours, no cap."
14Your fam will be as numerous as the dust on the ground, spreading out in all directions; through you and your fam, everyone’s gonna be blessed, fr.
15And God’s like, "I’m with you, no matter where you go, and I’ll bring you back to this land; I won’t dip until I’ve done what I promised."
16Jacob woke up and was like, "Wow, the Lord is definitely in this place, and I didn’t even realize it."
17He got shook and said, "This spot is wild! It’s the house of God, and the gate to heaven, no cap."
18Jacob woke up early, grabbed the stone he had for a pillow, set it up like a pillar, and poured some oil on top for good vibes.
19He named that place Bethel, but it used to be called Luz before.
20Jacob made a promise, saying, "If God’s with me, keeps me on this journey, gives me food and clothes, then..."
21I'm just trying to vibe back home to my dad's place, and then the Lord's gonna be my guy, no cap.
22This stone I set up is like God's crib, and whatever you bless me with, I'm gonna give you a solid 10%, periodt.
