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.
55 So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Then Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph; awhatever he says to you, do.”
56 The famine was over all the face of the earth, and Joseph opened1 all the storehouses and asold to the Egyptians. And the famine became severe in the land of Egypt.
