 [45 ](/kjv/genesis/41/45) And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over *all* the land of Egypt.**
 
 [46 ](/kjv/genesis/41/46) ¶ And Joseph *was* thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
 
 [47 ](/kjv/genesis/41/47) And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
 
 [48 ](/kjv/genesis/41/48) And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which *was* round about every city, laid he up in the same.
 
 [49 ](/kjv/genesis/41/49) And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for *it was* without number.
 
 [50 ](/kjv/genesis/41/50) 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 ](/kjv/genesis/41/51) 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 ](/kjv/genesis/41/52) And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.*
 
 [53 ](/kjv/genesis/41/53) ¶ And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
 
 [54 ](/kjv/genesis/41/54) 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 ](/kjv/genesis/41/55) 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 ](/kjv/genesis/41/56) 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 ](/kjv/genesis/41/57) And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy *corn;* because that the famine was *so* sore in all lands.
