Genesis 41:50-57

[50] And unto Joseph  were born  two  sons  before the years  of famine  came,  which Asenath  the daughter  of Potipherah  priest  of On  bare  unto him. [51] And Joseph  called  the name  of the firstborn  Manasseh:  For God,  said he, hath made me forget  all my toil,  and all my father's  house.  [52] And the name  of the second  called  he Ephraim:  For God  hath caused me to be fruitful  in the land  of my affliction.  [53] And the seven  years  of plenteousness,  that was in the land  of Egypt,  were ended.  [54] And the seven  years  of dearth  began  to come,  according as Joseph  had said:  and the dearth  was in all lands;  of Egypt  there was bread.  [55] And when all the land  of Egypt  was famished,  the people  cried  to Pharaoh  for bread:  and Pharaoh  said  unto all the Egyptians,  unto Joseph;  what he saith  to you, do.  [56] And the famine  was over all the face  of the earth:  And Joseph  opened  all the storehouses, and sold  unto the Egyptians;  and the famine  waxed sore  in the land  of Egypt.  [57] And all countries  came  into Egypt  to Joseph  for to buy  corn; because that the famine  was so sore  in all lands.
