创41:45And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah, and gave him as wife Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

创41:46And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh, and passed through the whole land of Egypt.

创41:47And in the seven years of plenty the land brought forth by handfuls.

创41:48And he gathered up all the food of the seven years that was in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities; the food of the fields of the city, which were round about it, he laid up in it.

创41:49And Joseph laid up corn as sand of the sea exceeding much, until they left off numbering; for it was without number.

创41:50And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asnath the daughter of Potipherah the priest in On bore to him.

创41:51And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh -- For God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.

创41:52And the name of the second he called Ephraim -- For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.

创41:53And the seven years of plenty that were in the land of Egypt were ended;

创41:54and the seven years of the dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said. And there was dearth in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

创41:55And all the land of Egypt suffered from the dearth. And the people cried to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph: what he says to you, that do.

创41:56And the famine was on all the earth. And Joseph opened every place in which there was [provision], and sold grain to the Egyptians; and the famine was grievous in the land of Egypt.

创41:57And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph, to buy [grain], because the famine was grievous on the whole earth.

创42:1And Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?

创42:2And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down thither and buy [grain] for us from thence, in order that we may live, and not die.

创42:3And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy [grain] out of Egypt.

创42:4But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest mischief may befall him.

创42:5So the sons of Israel came to buy [grain] among those that came; for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

创42:6And Joseph, he was the governor over the land -- he it was that sold [the corn] to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brethren came and bowed down to him, the face to the earth.

创42:7And Joseph saw his brethren, and knew them; but he made himself strange to them, and spoke roughly to them, and said to them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to buy food.
