Genesis 41:51-55 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

51. Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household."

52. He named the second Ephraim, "For," he said, "God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."

53. When the seven years of plenty which had been in the land of Egypt came to an end,

54. and the seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said, then there was famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

55. So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried out to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, you shall do."
