Joseph’s Two Sons Manasseh And Ephraim – Before The Years Of Famine

JOSEPH’S TWO SONS—MANASSEH AND EPHRAIM

These domestic events, which increased his temporal happiness, develop the piety of his character in the names conferred upon his children.

Genesis 41:50-57 KJV

[50] And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Poti–pherah priest of On bare unto him.

[51] And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.

[52] And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.

[53] And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.

[54] And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

[55] And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.

[56] And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.

[57] And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
