Genesis 41:49-51

Common English Bible

⁴⁹ Joseph amassed grain like the sand of the sea. There was so much that he stopped trying to measure it because it was beyond measuring. ⁵⁰ Before the years of famine arrived, Asenath the daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis,^[a] gave birth to two sons for Joseph. ⁵¹ Joseph named the oldest son Manasseh,^[b] “because,” he said, “God has helped me forget all of my troubles and everyone in my father’s household.”
