Genesis 41:45-52 ▼

45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave to him Asenath, daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, for a wife. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

46 And Joseph was a son of thirty years when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and he passed through all the land of Egypt.

47 And the land made as handfuls in the seven years of abundance.

48 And he gathered all the food of the seven years that were in the land of Egypt, and he placed the food in the cities. The food of the fields of the city that surrounded them, he placed in its midst.

49 And Joseph stored up grain like the sand of the sea, multiplying exceedingly, until that he stopped counting, for it was without number.

50 And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore to him.

51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, “For God has made me forget all my toil and all the house of my father.”

52 And the name of the second he called Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
