Genesis 44

Gen Z: Genesis 44

1He told the head dude, “Fill these guys’ bags with food, like as much as they can handle, and drop their cash in there too. No cap.”

2“And put my silver cup in the youngest one’s bag, along with his grain cash.” He did exactly what Joseph said.

3Once the sun was up, the guys bounced with their donkeys.

4When they were outta town and not too far, Joseph told his dude, “Yo, go catch up to them and ask, ‘Why you trippin’ and doing wrong?’”

5“Isn’t this the cup my boss drinks from and uses to see the future? You’ve messed up big time.”

6He caught up with them and dropped those same words.

7They were like, “Why is my lord saying this? No way we’d do something so sus!”

8“Check it, we brought back the cash we found in our bags from Canaan. Why would we steal silver or gold from your boss’s crib?”

9“Whoever you find it with, let him die, and we’ll be your boss’s servants, fr.”

10He was like, “Aight, we’ll do it your way: whoever has it will be my servant, and y’all are in the clear.”

11They straight up tossed their bags on the ground and opened them like, "What’s good?"

12He started searching from the oldest to the youngest, and boom, the cup was chilling in Benjamin’s bag.

13They ripped their clothes in shock, loaded up their donkeys, and headed back to the city.

14Judah and his bros rolled up to Joseph’s crib since he was still there, and they hit the ground hard.

15Joseph was like, "What kinda mess is this? You know I can totally figure this out, right?"

16Judah was like, "What do we even say to you? We’re totally guilty, God knows what we did. We're all your servants, even the one with the cup."

17Joseph said, "Nah, we’re not doing that. The dude with the cup is my servant; you guys can bounce back home peacefully."

18Judah stepped closer and was like, "Yo, let me just say one thing, don’t be mad at me, you’re basically like Pharaoh."

19My dude asked us if we had a dad or a bro.

20We told him, "Yeah, we got an old man for a dad and a little bro who’s the last of his fam since his other brother is gone, and our dad loves him a lot."

21You told your squad, "Bring him to me so I can peep him."

22We told my dude, "The kid can’t dip from his dad or he’ll be crushed, no cap."

23You said, "If your youngest bro doesn’t roll with you, you ain't seeing my face again."

24When we hit up my pops, we told him what you said, fr.

25Dad was like, "Go back and grab us some snacks."

26We said, "We can’t go unless our youngest bro is with us; no rizz, no entry."

27My dad said, "You know I had two sons, right?"

28"One dipped on me, and I thought he got wrecked; I haven’t seen him since."

29"If you take this one too and something bad happens, I’ll be vibing in sorrow to the grave."

30"So when I roll up to my pops and the kid’s not with us, just know his life is tied to the kid’s life."

31When he sees the kid's missing, he's gonna be crushed, and we're gonna bring our dad mad sadness, fr.

32I told my dad I'd have the kid's back, and if I mess that up, I’m gonna get the blame forever, no cap.

33So, like, can I step in for the kid and be your servant instead? Let him roll with his fam.

34How am I supposed to face my dad without the kid? I can’t even think about how he’d react, that’s just sus.

KJV: Genesis 44

1And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man’s money in his sack’s mouth.

2And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

3As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.

4And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?

5Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.

6And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.

7And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:

8Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord’s house silver or gold?

9With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondmen.

10And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.

11Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.

12And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.

13Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.

14And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.

15And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?

16And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord’s servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.

17And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.

18Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.

19My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?

20And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.

21And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.

22And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.

23And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.

24And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

25And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.

26And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man’s face, except our youngest brother be with us.

27And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:

28And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:

29And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

30Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;

31It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.

32For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.

33Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.

34For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
