46Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47In the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
48He gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, he laid up in the same.
49Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.
50To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.
51Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father`s house."
52The name of the second, he called Ephraim: "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."
