Genesis 41:50-52

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵⁰ Before the years of famine came, Joseph had two sons by Asenath, daughter of Potiphera, priest from the city of On. ⁵¹ Joseph named his firstborn son Manasseh [He Helps Me Forget], because God helped him forget all his troubles and all about his father’s family. ⁵² He named the second son Ephraim [Blessed Twice With Children], because God gave him children in the land where he had suffered.
