Genesis 41:45-52

45Then PharaohH6547 namedH7121H8034 JosephH3130 1Zaphenath-paneahH6847; and he gaveH5414 him AsenathH621, the daughterH1323 of PotipheraH6319 priestH3548 of 23OnH204, as his wifeH802. And JosephH3130 wentH3318 forthH3318 overH5921 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

46Now JosephH3130 was 4thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he 5stoodH5975 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547, kingH4428 of EgyptH4714. And JosephH3130 wentH3318 out from the presenceH6440 of PharaohH6547 and wentH5674 throughH5674 allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 47During the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of plentyH7647 the landH776 broughtH6213 forthH6213 6abundantlyH7062. 48So he gatheredH6908 allH3605 the foodH400 of these sevenH7651 yearsH8141 whichH834 occurredH1961 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 and placedH5414 the foodH400 in the citiesH5892; he placedH5414 in every cityH5892 the foodH400 from its own surroundingH5439 fieldsH7704. 49Thus JosephH3130 storedH6651 up grainH1250 7in greatH3966 abundanceH3966 like the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, untilH5704H3588 he stoppedH2308 8measuringH5608 it, for it was 9beyondH369 measureH4557.

50Now beforeH2962 the yearH8141 of famineH7458 cameH935, 10twoH8147 sonsH1121 were bornH3205 to JosephH3130, whomH834 AsenathH621, the daughterH1323 of PotipheraH6319 priestH3548 of 11OnH204, boreH3205 to him. 51JosephH3130 namedH7121H8034 the firstbornH1060 12ManassehH4519, “For,” he said, “GodH430 has made me forgetH5382 allH3605 my troubleH5999 and allH3605 my father’sH1 householdH1004.” 52He namedH7121H8034 the secondH8145 13EphraimH669, “For,” he said, “14GodH430 has madeH6509 me fruitfulH6509 in the landH776 of my afflictionH6040.”
