Genesis 41:46-52
The Seven Years of Plenty

46 And Joseph [was] thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

46:

47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.

47:

48 And he 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, laid he up in the same.

48:

49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for [it was] without number.

49:

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.

50:

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.

51:

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

52:
