*
And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came ,
which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him .
*
And 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 .
*
And the name of the second called he Ephraim :
For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction .
*
And the seven years of plenteousness ,
that was in the land of Egypt ,
were ended .
*
And the seven years of dearth began to come ,
according as Joseph had said :
and the dearth was in all lands ;
but in all the land of Egypt there was bread .
*
And 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 .
*
And the famine was over all the face of the earth :
And Joseph opened all the storehouses ,
and sold unto the Egyptians ;
and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt .
*
And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn ;
because that the famine was so sore in all lands .
