Genesis 41:50-52

New Life Version

Joseph’s Two Sons

⁵⁰ Two sons were born to Joseph before the years without food came. Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, the religious leader of On, gave birth to them. ⁵¹ Joseph gave the first-born the name Manasseh. “For,” he said, “God has made me forget all my trouble and all those of my father’s house.” ⁵² He gave the second son the name of Ephraim. “For,” he said, “God has given me children in the land of my suffering.”
