Before the years of famine
came, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of
On. 51 Joseph named his firstborn Manasseh[e] and said, “It is because God has made me forget all my
trouble and all my father’s household.” 52 The second son he named Ephraim[f] and said, “It is because God has made me fruitful in
the land of my suffering.”
