Genesis 41:46-57
46Now JosephH3130 was thirtyH7970 years oldH1121H8141 when he entered the serviceH5975H6440 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714. And JosephH3130 leftH3318 Pharaoh’sH6547 presenceH6440 and traveledH5674 throughoutH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
47During the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of abundanceH7647, the landH776 brought forthH6213 bountifullyH7062. 48During those sevenH7651 yearsH8141, Joseph collectedH6908 allH3605 the excess foodH400 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and storedH5414 itH400 in the citiesH5892. In every cityH5892 he laid upH5414 the foodH400 from the fieldsH7704 around itH5439. 49So JosephH3130 stored upH6651 grainH1250 in such abundanceH7235H3966H5704, like the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, thatH3588 he stoppedH2308 keeping track of itH5608; forH3588 it was beyondH369 measureH4557.
50BeforeH2962 the yearsH8141 of famineH7458 arrivedH935, twoH8147 sonsH1121 were bornH3205 to JosephH3130 by AsenathH621 daughterH1323 of PotipheraH6319, priestH3548 of OnH204. 51JosephH3130 namedH7121H8034 the firstbornH1060 ManassehH4519,1 sayingH3588, “GodH430 has made me forgetH5382 allH3605 my hardshipH5999 and allH3605 my father’sH1 householdH1004.” 52And the secondH8145 son he namedH8034H7121 EphraimH669,2 sayingH3588, “GodH430 has made me fruitfulH6509 in the landH776 of my afflictionH6040.”
53When the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of abundanceH7647 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 came to an endH3615, 54the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458H935 beganH2490, just asH834 JosephH3130 had saidH559. And although there wasH1961 famineH7458 in everyH3605 countryH776, there wasH1961 foodH3899 throughoutH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 55When extreme hungerH7456 came to allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and the peopleH5971 cried outH6817 toH413 PharaohH6547 for foodH3899, he toldH559 allH3605 the EgyptiansH4713, “GoH1980 toH413 JosephH3130 and doH6213 whateverH834 he tellsH559 you.”
56When the famineH7458 had spreadH1961 overH5921 allH3605 theH6440 landH776, JosephH3130 opened upH6605 allH3605 the storehousesH834 and sold grainH7666 to the EgyptiansH4714; for the famineH7458 was severeH2388 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 57And everyH3605 nationH776 cameH935 toH413 JosephH3130 in EgyptH4714 to buy grainH7666, becauseH3588 the famineH7458 was severeH2388 over allH3605 the earthH776.
