Genesis 41:51 in Context — Genesis 41

49 Joseph amassa du blé, comme le sable de la mer, en quantité si considérable que l’on cessa de compter, parce qu’il n’y avait plus de nombre.

50 Avant les années de famine, il naquit à Joseph deux fils, que lui enfanta Asnath, fille de Poti-Phéra, prêtre d’On.

51 Joseph donna au premier-né le nom de Manassé, car, dit-il, Dieu m’a fait oublier toutes mes peines et toute la maison de mon père.

52 Et il donna au second le nom d’Éphraïm, car, dit-il, Dieu m’a rendu fécond dans le pays de mon affliction.

53 Les sept années d’abondance qu’il y eut au pays d’Égypte s’écoulèrent.
