51 And Ioseph called the name of the first sonne, Manasse: for God sayde he hath made me forget al my labour, and all my fathers housholde. 52 The name of the seconde called he Ephraim, for God sayd he hath caused me to be fruitefull in the lande of my trouble. 53 And when the seuen yeres of plenteousnesse that was in the land of Egypt, were ended, 54 Then came the seuen yeres of dearth, according as Ioseph had sayde, and the dearth was in all landes: but in all the lande of Egypt, was there yet foode. 55 And when the lande of Egypt also began to hunger, the people cryed to Pharao for bread. And Pharao sayde vnto al the Egyptians, go vnto Ioseph: and what he sayeth to you, that do. 56 And the dearth was throughout all the lande: and Ioseph opened all the barnes wherein was corne, and solde vnto the Egyptians: for the famine waxed sore in the lande of Egypt. 57 And all countreys came into Egypt to Ioseph, for to bye corne because that the famine was so sore in all landes.
