Genesis 41:50 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 41:50

48 So he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities; he laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them.

49 Joseph gathered very much grain, ^aas the sand of the sea, until he stopped counting, for it was immeasurable.

50 ^aAnd to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him.

51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn¹ Manasseh: “For God has made me forget all my toil and all my ^afather’s house.”

52 And the name of the second he called¹ Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be ^afruitful in the land of my affliction.”

53 Then the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Egypt ended,

54 ^aand the seven years of famine began to come, ^bas Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
