Genesis 41:50-56

50And unto Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On bare unto him.

51And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For, said he, God hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.

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

53And the seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, came to an end.

54And the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said: and there was famine in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

55And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.

56And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine was sore in the land of Egypt.
