Genesis 40

Gen Z: Genesis 40

1So, the king's butler and baker in Egypt totally messed up with Pharaoh. Major sus vibes.

2Pharaoh was heated at his two homies, the head butler and the head baker.

3He locked them up in the captain's crib, where Joseph was chillin' too.

4The captain was like, "Yo Joseph, take care of these guys," and they all vibed in there for a minute.

5They both had dreams that night, and each one was lit in its own way, but no one could decode them.

6Joseph rolled in the next morning and saw they were looking all down, no cap.

7He asked Pharaoh’s peeps, "Why y’all looking so bummed today?"

8They replied, "We had these dreams, but there’s no one to interpret them." Joseph said, "Ain't interpretations God's thing? Spill the tea."

9The chief butler shared his dream with Joseph, saying, "In my dream, a vine was right in front of me."

10And the vine had three branches, and it looked like it was about to bud, with blossoms popping off and ripe grapes coming through.

11Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, so I squished the grapes and poured it into his cup. Here you go, Pharaoh.

12Joseph was like, "Let me break it down for you: the three branches mean three days, no cap."

13"In three days, Pharaoh’s gonna vibe check you, bring you back to your spot, and you’ll be handing him his cup again, just like old times."

14"But remember me when you’re living your best life, and show me some love by mentioning me to Pharaoh, so I can bounce from this place."

15"For real, I got taken from my home, and I haven’t done anything wrong to end up in this dungeon, fr."

16The chief baker saw that the vibes were good and said to Joseph, "I had a dream too, and I was rocking three white baskets on my head."

17"And the top basket was full of all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were munching on them right off my head."

18Joseph replied, "Here’s the scoop: those three baskets represent three days."

19"In three days, Pharaoh’s gonna lift you up and hang you on a tree; the birds will feast on your flesh, that’s savage."

20"On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he threw a lit feast for all his crew, lifting up the chief butler and chief baker."

21And he brought the head butler back to his old job, handing him the cup like, "You vibin' again."

22But the head baker got the ultimate L: he was hanged, just like Joseph said.

23Still, the head butler totally ghosted Joseph and forgot about him, no cap.

KJV: Genesis 40

1And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.

2And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.

3And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

4And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.

5And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison.

6And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.

7And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that were with him in the ward of his lord’s house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?

8And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.

9And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;

10And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:

11And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.

12And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:

13Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.

14But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:

15For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.

16When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:

17And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.

18And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:

19Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.

20And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.

21And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand:

22But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.

23Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
