45. And Pharaoh called the name of Joseph Zaphenath-paneah and gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, as a wife. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
46. Now Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and traveled through the whole land of Egypt.
47. And the land produced a plenty in the seven years of abundance.
48. And he gathered all the food of the seven years which occurred in the land of Egypt. And he stored the food in the cities. The food of the field that surrounded each city he stored in its midst.
49. And Joseph piled up grain like the sand of the sea in great abundance until he stopped counting it, for it could not be counted.
50. Before the years of famine came, Asenath, daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore two sons to him.
51. And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, for he said, “God has caused me to forget all my hardship and all my father’s house.”
52. And the name of the second he called Ephraim, for he said, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my misfortune.”
53. And the seven years of abundance which were in the land of Egypt came to an end.
54. And the seven years of famine began to come as Joseph had said. And there was famine in all of the countries, but in the land of Egypt there was food.
55. And when all the land of Egypt was hungry the people cried out to Pharaoh for food. And Pharaoh said to all the land of Egypt, “Go to Joseph; what he says to you, you must do.”
56. And the famine was over the whole land, and Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold food to the Egyptians. And the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
57. And every land came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, for the famine was severe in every land.
