New King James Version
Genesis 41:50-56
50And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him.
51Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: “For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s house.”
52And the name of the second he called Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
53Then the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Egypt ended,
54and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
55So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Then Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, do.”
56The famine was over all the face of the earth, and Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine became severe in the land of Egypt.
