45-46 He gave Joseph the Egyptian name Zaphenath Paneah, and he gave him a wife, Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, a priest in the city of Heliopolis.Joseph was thirty years old when he began to serve the king of Egypt. He left the king's court and travelled all over the land.
47 During the seven years of plenty the land produced abundant crops,
48 all of which Joseph collected and stored in the cities. In each city he stored the food from the fields around it.
49 There was so much corn that Joseph stopped measuring it — it was like the sand of the sea.
50 Before the years of famine came, Joseph had two sons by Asenath.
51 He said, “God has made me forget all my sufferings and all my father's family”; so he named his first son Manasseh.
52 He also said, “God has given me children in the land of my trouble”; so he named his second son Ephraim.
