Genesis 41:49-54 Modern English Version (MEV)

49. Joseph gathered great quantities of grain as the sand of the sea until he stopped measuring it, for it was beyond measure.

50. Before the years of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.

51. Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, “For God,” he said, “has made me forget all my trouble and all my father’s house.”

52. The name of the second he called Ephraim, saying, “For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.”

53. The seven years of abundance that were in the land of Egypt ended.

54. The seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands, but there was food in all the land of Egypt.
