Genesis 41:45-52

45And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him for a wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went over all the land of Egypt.12

46And Josephwasthirty 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. 47And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls. 48And he gathered 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 surrounding every city, he laid up in the same. 49And Joseph gathered grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he finished numbering; for it was without number. 50And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bore to him.3 51And 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.4 52And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.5
