50 And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On bore to him.
51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh -- For God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
52 And the name of the second he called Ephraim -- For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
53 And the seven years of plenty that were in the land of Egypt were ended;
54 and the seven years of the dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said. And there was dearth in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
