50 And to Joseph were born two sons, before the seven years of famine came, which Aseneth, the daughter of Petephres, priest of Heliopolis, bore to him. 51 And Joseph called the name of the first-born, Manasse; for God, [said he], has made me forget all my toils, and all my father's house. 52 And he called the name of the second, Ephraim; for God, [said he], has increased me in the land of my humiliation. 53 And the seven years of plenty passed away, which were in the land of Egypt. 54 And the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph said; and there was a famine in all the land; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 55 And all the land of Egypt was hungry; and the people cried to Pharao for bread. And Pharao said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph, and do whatsoever he shall tell you. 56 And the famine was on the face of all the earth; and Joseph opened all the granaries, and sold to all the Egyptians. 57 And all countries came to Egypt to buy of Joseph, for the famine prevailed in all the earth.

50 Τῷ δὲ ᾿Ιωσὴφ ἐγένοντο υἱοὶ δύο πρὸ τοῦ ἐλθεῖν τὰ ἑπτὰ ἔτη τοῦ λιμοῦ, οὓς ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ ᾿Ασεννὲθ ἡ θυγάτηρ Πετεφρῆ ἱερέως ῾Ηλιουπόλεως. 51 ἐκάλεσε δὲ ᾿Ιωσὴφ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ πρωτοτόκου Μανασσῆ, ὅτι ἐπιλαθέσθαι με ἐποίησεν ὁ Θεὸς πάντων τῶν πόνων μου καὶ πάντων τῶν τοῦ πατρός μου. 52 τὸ δὲ ὄνομα τοῦ δευτέρου ἐκάλεσεν ᾿Εφραΐμ, ὅτι ηὔξησέ με ὁ Θεὸς ἐν γῇ ταπεινώσεώς μου. 53 Παρῆλθε δὲ τὰ ἑπτὰ ἔτη τῆς εὐθηνίας, ἃ ἐγένοντο ἐν τῇ γῇ Αἰγύπτου, 54 καὶ ἤρξατο τὰ ἑπτὰ ἔτη τοῦ λιμοῦ ἔρχεσθαι, καθὰ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωσήφ. καὶ ἐγένετο λιμὸς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ, ἐν δὲ πάσῃ τῇ γῇ Αἰγύπτου ἦσαν ἄρτοι. 55 καὶ ἐπείνασε πᾶσα ἡ γῆ Αἰγύπτου, ἔκραξε δὲ ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Φαραὼ περὶ ἄρτων· εἶπε δὲ Φαραὼ πᾶσι τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις· πορεύεσθε πρὸς ᾿Ιωσήφ, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν εἴπῃ ὑμῖν, ποιήσατε. 56 καὶ ὁ λιμὸς ἦν ἐπὶ προσώπου πάσης τῆς γῆς· ἀνέῳξε δὲ ᾿Ιωσὴφ πάντας τοὺς σιτοβολῶνας καὶ ἐπώλει πᾶσι τοῖς Αἰγυπτίοις. 57 καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ χῶραι ἦλθον εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἀγοράζειν πρὸς ᾿Ιωσήφ· ἐπεκράτησε γὰρ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ.
