Gen Z: Genesis 48
1So, after all that, someone hit up Joseph and said, "Yo, your dad's sick," and he rolled in with his two kids, Manasseh and Ephraim.
2They told Jacob, "Ayo, your son Joseph is here," and Israel got his energy up and sat on the bed.
3Jacob was like, "God Almighty showed up at Luz in Canaan and blessed me, fr."
4He said, "Bet, I’ll make you super fruitful and your fam will be a whole squad; this land is yours forever."
5"And your two boys, Ephraim and Manasseh, born in Egypt before I saw you, they're mine too; just like Reuben and Simeon."
6"Whatever kids you have after them are yours, and they'll carry the fam name, no cap."
7"By the way, when I came from Padan, Rachel passed away in Canaan on the way, and I buried her at Ephrath, aka Bethlehem."
8Israel peeped Joseph's kids and was like, "Who are these little ones?"
9Joseph said to his dad, "They're my sons that God gave me here." And Jacob was like, "Bring them over, I wanna bless them."
10Israel's eyes were a bit foggy from age, so he couldn't see well. He pulled them close, kissed them, and gave them a big hug.
11Israel was like, "Yo Joseph, didn’t think I’d see you again, but God’s showing me your fam too. Lit."
12Joseph brought them out from between his knees and straight-up bowed to the ground. Savage move.
13Joseph had Ephraim in his right hand for Israel’s left and Manasseh in his left for Israel’s right, bringing them close. Rizz game strong.
14Israel put his right hand on Ephraim’s head, the younger one, and his left on Manasseh’s, guiding his hands like, "Trust me, fam."
15He blessed Joseph, saying, "God, the one who my fam Abraham and Isaac walked with, the one who’s had my back forever, no cap,"
16"The Angel who saved me from all the bad stuff, bless these kids; let my name and my fam’s name be on them, and let them pop off in the world."
17When Joseph saw his dad put his right hand on Ephraim’s head, he was like, "Nah, fam," and tried to switch his dad’s hand to Manasseh.
18Joseph told his dad, "Chill, pops, this is the firstborn; put your right hand on him."
19His dad was like, "I got this, my son, I know what’s up: he’ll be a people too, but for real, the younger one’s gonna be greater, and his fam will be a whole vibe."
20He blessed them that day, saying, "Israel’s gonna bless through you, saying, ‘God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh,’ and he put Ephraim in front of Manasseh."
21Israel told Joseph, "Yo, I’m about to peace out, but God’s got your back and will bring you back to the fam's land. No cap."
22"Also, I’m giving you a dope portion over your bros that I snagged from the Amorites with my sword and bow. Periodt."
