Gen Z: Genesis 41
1So like, after two whole years, Pharaoh had a dream and was chilling by the river, no cap.
2Outta nowhere, seven dope-looking cows came up from the river, all fat and vibing, munching in a meadow.
3Then, seven other cows showed up, looking kinda sus and skinny, just chilling by the river too.
4The skinny cows straight up devoured the fat ones, and Pharaoh woke up like, "What just happened?"
5He went back to sleep and dreamed again: seven sick ears of corn popped up on one stalk, looking fresh.
6Then, seven scrawny ears blasted by the east wind showed up after them, looking rough.
7The skinny ears straight ate the full ones, and Pharaoh woke up again, realizing it was just a dream.
8The next morning, he was super stressed and called all the magicians and wise guys in Egypt, sharing his dream, but no one could break it down for him.
9Then the chief butler was like, "Yo, I remember my mess-ups today."
10Pharaoh was mad at his squad and threw me and the chief baker in the guard's house, periodt.
11We had a wild dream one night, me and him; each of us had our own vibe check for our dreams.
12There was a young dude with us, a Hebrew, serving the guard captain; we shared our dreams, and he totally decoded them for us.
13What he said came true; I got my job back, and the other dude? He got hanged.
14Then Pharaoh called for Joseph, and they rushed him out of the dungeon; he cleaned up and switched his fit before meeting Pharaoh.
15Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I had a dream, and no one can decode it; I heard you can vibe with dream interpretations."
16Joseph replied, "Not me, fam; God’s gonna give Pharaoh the peace answer."
17Pharaoh told Joseph, "In my dream, I was chilling by the riverbank."
18And then, out of the river, seven lit cows came up, all beefy and looking fresh; they were grazing in a meadow.
19And then, seven other cows came up after them, looking all sad and skinny, like I’ve never seen in all of Egypt; major sus vibes.
20The skinny, sad cows ate up the first seven fat ones like it was nothing.
21They ate them up, but you couldn’t even tell, still looking rough AF. So I woke up, no cap.
22In my dream, I peeped seven ears popping up on one stalk, looking all good and full, fr.
23Then seven weak ears, all dried out and blasted by the east wind, showed up after them, sus vibes.
24And the thin ears straight up devoured the good ones. I told the magicians, but nobody could break it down for me.
25Joseph was like, “Yo, Pharaoh, your dream is the same deal: God’s about to spill the tea on what’s coming.”
26The seven good cows? That’s seven years; and the seven good ears? Same, seven years: it’s all connected.
27The seven weak and rough cows that came up after are also seven years; and the empty ears blasted by the wind mean seven years of famine.
28This is what I told Pharaoh: God’s about to do something big, and He’s letting Pharaoh in on it.
29Get ready for seven years of mad abundance all over Egypt, it’s gonna be lit.
30But after that, there’s gonna be seven years of famine, and all the abundance? Totally forgotten, the famine’s gonna wreck it all.
31The fam's gonna be wild, and nobody's ready for that struggle. It's gonna hit hard, no cap.
32Pharaoh had that dream twice, which means it’s legit and God’s gonna make it happen, fr.
33So Pharaoh should find a smart and savvy dude to run things in Egypt.
34Pharaoh needs to get on this and pick some officials to chill and save one-fifth of everything during the good years.
35They gotta stack all the food during those blessed years and store it under Pharaoh's watch, keeping it in the cities.
36That stash is gonna be crucial for the famines coming, so the land doesn’t totally wreck itself.
37Pharaoh and his crew were vibing with the plan; it was looking good.
38Pharaoh asked his crew, “Can we find someone as lit as this? Someone with the Spirit of God?”
39Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God showed you all this, you’re the most rizzed up and wise person around.”
40You’re gonna run my house, and everyone will follow your lead, but I’ll still be the top dog.
41Pharaoh was like, "Yo, Joseph, you're the boss of all Egypt now. Goated move."
42He took off his ring and threw it on Joseph's finger, dressed him in fresh linen, and threw a gold chain around his neck. Lit!
43Joseph got to ride in the second-best chariot, and everyone was like, "Bow down!" He was the ruler of all Egypt. Savage.
44Pharaoh said, "I'm Pharaoh, and no one can do anything without you in Egypt, no cap."
45Pharaoh named Joseph Zaphnath-paaneah and gave him Asenath, the priest's daughter, as his wife. Joseph was living large in Egypt.
46Joseph was 30 when he rolled up to Pharaoh, and then he went all over Egypt. Big moves, fr.
47During the seven years of abundance, the earth was popping off with harvests.
48He collected all the food from those seven years and stored it in the cities, like a total boss.
49Joseph gathered so much grain it was like the sand at the beach, no cap, couldn’t even count it.
50Before the famine hit, Joseph had two sons with Asenath, living that family life.
51Joseph named his first kid Manasseh, 'cause God helped him forget all his struggles and fam vibes.
52The second kid was named Ephraim, 'cause God made him thrive in a tough time, no cap.
53The seven years of good times in Egypt were done, fr.
54Then the seven years of struggle kicked in, just as Joseph said; fam was rough everywhere, but Egypt had bread, lit.
55When everyone in Egypt was starving, they hit up Pharaoh for bread, and he was like, "Go see Joseph; do what he says."
56The famine was all over the earth, and Joseph opened the storehouses to sell to the Egyptians; it was savage in Egypt.
57People from all around came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph 'cause the famine was hitting hard everywhere, periodt.
