And Joseph will gather grain as the sand of the sea, exceedingly much that he ceased to number; for there was no numbering. And to Joseph will be born two sons before the years of the famine will come: which Asenath, daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of Ain, bare to him. And Joseph will call the name of the first-born, Manasseh; for God made me forget all my toils and all my father's house. And the name of the second, he called Ephraim; for God caused me to flourish in the land of my affliction. And the seven years of plenty will be completed, which was in the land of Egypt And the seven years of famine will begin to come, according to that Joseph said: and the famine will be in all the lands; and in all the land of Egypt was bread. And all the land of Egypt shall hunger, and the people will cry out to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh will say to all Egypt, Go to Joseph; what he shall say to you, ye shall do. And the famine was upon all the face of the earth: and Joseph will open all which in them, and he will sell to Egypt; and the famine was strong in the land of Egypt And all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy, for the famine was strong in all the earth.
