Genesis 41:48-54

Joseph supervised the gathering up of all the great stores of food of the seven years of abundance and strategically placed them in various walled cities near where the harvest was gathered. He gathered such massive quantities of produce that he gave up trying to measure it all, for it was like counting the sand on the seashore. Prior to the famine, Joseph and Asenath, daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis, had two sons. Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has made me forget all my troubles and my parental home.” The second he named Ephraim, saying, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering.” Eventually, Egypt’s seven years of abundance came to an end. Then began the seven years of famine, just as Joseph prophesied. Although there was a severe famine everywhere else, food was available throughout the land of Egypt.
