Gen Z: Genesis 37
1Jacob was chillin' in Canaan, where his dad was a total outsider.
2So, Jacob's fam is lit. Joseph, just 17, was out here feeding the flocks with his bros; he was hangin' with Bilhah and Zilpah's sons, and he snitched on them to his dad.
3Israel was super into Joseph, way more than his other kids, 'cause he was a late-in-life baby. He even hooked him up with a dope multicolored coat.
4When his bros saw that their dad was vibing harder with Joseph, they low-key hated him and couldn't even pretend to be nice.
5Joseph had a wild dream and spilled the tea to his bros, and they were even more salty about it.
6He was like, "Yo, check this dream I had!"
7So, we were tying up grain in the field, and my bundle stood up while yours were bowing down to mine.
8His bros were like, "You really think you're gonna rule over us? Bet." They were even more mad about his dreams and what he said.
9Then he had another dream and told his bros, like, "I had another one! The sun, moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me."
10He shared it with his dad and bros, and his dad was like, "What’s up with this dream? You think we’re all gonna bow down to you? No cap?"
11His bros were super jelly of him, but his dad was vibing with what he said.
12His bros dipped to take care of their dad's sheep in Shechem.
13Israel was like, "Aren't your bros feeding the sheep in Shechem? Come through, I got a mission for you." He was like, "I'm here for it."
14He told him, "Go check on your bros and the flocks, and hit me up with the deets." So, he sent him out from Hebron, and he rolled up to Shechem.
15A dude found him wandering in the field and asked, "What’s good? What you looking for?"
16He said, "I’m looking for my bros. Can you tell me where they’re chilling with the sheep?"
17The guy was like, "They bounced; I heard them say they were heading to Dothan." So, Joseph chased after them and found them there.
18When they spotted him from a distance, before he got close, they started plotting to take him out.
19They were like, "Look, here comes that dreamer."
20"Let’s just take him out and toss him in a pit. We’ll say a wild animal got him and see what happens to his dreams."
21Reuben heard the tea and was like, "Chill, let’s not off him."
22He told them, "No cap, let’s just toss him in this pit instead, then we can get him back to Dad."
23When Joseph rolled up on his bros, they straight-up ripped off his dope coat.
24They tossed him into a pit that was empty, like, no water at all.
25Then they sat down to munch, but peeped a squad of Ishmeelites rolling in with spices and stuff headed to Egypt.
26Judah was like, "What’s the vibe if we off our bro and hide the evidence?"
27He said, "Bet, let’s just sell him to the Ishmeelites; he’s our fam, after all." His bros were down.
28Then some Midianite traders came by, and they pulled Joseph outta the pit and sold him for twenty silver coins, taking him to Egypt.
29Reuben came back to the pit and freaked out when he saw Joseph was gone; he ripped his clothes in despair.
30He went back to his bros and was like, "Dude, he’s not here; what am I supposed to do now?"
31They snagged Joseph's coat, took a goat, and soaked it in blood; savage move.
32They sent the colorful coat to their dad, like, "Yo, look what we found! Is this your son's drip or nah?"
33He saw it and was like, "Fr, that's my son's coat; a savage beast totally wrecked him. Joseph is done for."
34Jacob tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourned for his son for days. No cap, he was heartbroken.
35All his kids tried to comfort him, but he was like, "Nah, I'm too crushed. I'm going down to the grave mourning for my son." His dad was straight-up weeping.
36The Midianites sold him to Potiphar in Egypt, who was like a big deal in Pharaoh's squad.
