The Seven Years of Plenty

The Seven Years of Plenty


46Now Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph left Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout the land of Egypt.


47During the seven years of abundance, the land brought forth bountifully. 48During those seven years, Joseph collected all the excess food in the land of Egypt and stored it in the cities. In every city he laid up the food from the fields around it. 49So Joseph stored up grain in such abundance, like the sand of the sea, that he stopped keeping track of it; for it was beyond measure.


50Before the years of famine arrived, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On. 51Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh,[fn] saying, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s household.” 52And the second son he named Ephraim,[fn] saying, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”


41:51 Manasseh sounds like the Hebrew for making to forget.

41:52 Ephraim sounds like the Hebrew for making fruitful or twice fruitful.
