Genesis 41:51-55

1. 51 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.

2. 52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.

3. 53 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.

4. 54 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.

5. 55 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.
