Read in context

Genesis 41:50–54 · Berean Standard Bible

50 Before the years of famine arrived, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.

51 Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s household.”

52 And the second son he named Ephraim, saying, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”

53 When the seven years of abundance in the land of Egypt came to an end,

54 the seven years of famine began, just as Joseph had said. And although there was famine in every country, there was food throughout the land of Egypt.
