50 Before the famine years set in, Joseph became the father of two sons, borne to him by Asenath, daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis.

51 Joseph named his firstborn Manasseh, meaning, “God has made me forget entirely my troubles and my father’s house”;

52 and the second he named Ephraim, meaning, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
