Gen Z: Genesis 46
1Israel packed up all his stuff and rolled out to Beer-sheba, dropping some sacrifices to the God of his dad Isaac.
2God hit up Israel in a night vision, calling out, "Jacob, Jacob." And Jacob was like, "I’m here, what’s good?"
3God said, "Yo, I’m the God of your pops. No cap, don’t be scared to head to Egypt; I’m gonna turn you into a major nation there."
4"I’m rolling with you to Egypt, and I’ll bring you back up; Joseph’s gonna close your eyes, fam."
5Jacob bounced from Beer-sheba, and his sons loaded him, the kiddos, and their wives into the wagons Pharaoh sent.
6They packed their livestock and goods from Canaan and dipped into Egypt, Jacob and his whole crew.
7His sons, grandsons, daughters, and granddaughters all rolled with him into Egypt.
8Here are the names of Israel's kids who went to Egypt: Jacob and his sons, starting with Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn.
9Reuben’s sons are Hanoch, Phallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
10Simeon’s sons are Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, whose mom was a Canaanite.
11Levi's crew: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
12Judah's squad: Er, Onan, Shelah, Pharez, and Zerah. Er and Onan peaced out in Canaan. Pharez’s fam is Hezron and Hamul.
13Issachar's lineup: Tola, Phuvah, Job, and Shimron.
14Zebulun's gang: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.
15These are Leah's kiddos with Jacob in Padan–aram, plus Dinah. Total fam vibes: thirty-three souls.
16Gad's crew: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.
17Asher’s peeps: Jimnah, Ishuah, Isui, Beriah, and their sis Serah. Beriah’s kids are Heber and Malchiel.
18Zilpah’s fam, given to Leah by Laban, dropped sixteen souls with Jacob.
19Rachel, Jacob’s wifey, had Joseph and Benjamin.
20In Egypt, Joseph’s fam got lit with Manasseh and Ephraim, born to him by Asenath, Poti–pherah's daughter.
21Yo, the fam of Benjamin was Belah, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard. Major squad vibes.
22These are Rachel's kids with Jacob: all together, that's fourteen souls, no cap.
23And then there's Dan's kid: Hushim, chillin'.
24And for Naphtali, we got Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem, all lit.
25These are Bilhah's kids, the ones Laban gave Rachel, and she popped out seven souls for Jacob, fr.
26All the peeps that rolled with Jacob to Egypt, straight from his fam, not counting his sons' wives, were sixty-six souls, periodt.
27Joseph's kids born in Egypt? Just two souls. So, all the homies from Jacob's house that hit Egypt? Seventy souls, bet.
28He sent Judah ahead to Joseph to catch the vibes in Goshen; they hit the land of Goshen.
29Joseph got his ride ready and rolled up to meet his dad Israel in Goshen, and they had a heartfelt moment, no cap.
30Israel told Joseph, "Now I can go, 'cause I’ve seen your face and you’re still alive. Lit!"
31Joseph told his fam, "I’m gonna roll up to Pharaoh and let him know my crew and my fam from Canaan are here, no cap."
32The guys are all about that shepherd life, just feeding the cattle and bringing their flocks and herds, vibes.
33When Pharaoh hits you up and asks what you do, just know he’s curious.
34You gotta say, “We’ve been all about cattle since day one, us and our pops, so we can chill in Goshen ‘cause Egyptians think shepherds are sus.”
