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.
54 Et les sept années de famine commencèrent à venir, ainsi que Joseph l’avait annoncé. Il y eut famine dans tous les pays; mais dans tout le pays d’Égypte il y avait du pain.
55 Quand tout le pays d’Égypte fut aussi affamé, le peuple cria à Pharaon pour avoir du pain. Pharaon dit à tous les Égyptiens: Allez vers Joseph, et faites ce qu’il vous dira.
56 La famine régnait dans tout le pays. Joseph ouvrit tous les lieux d’approvisionnements, et vendit du blé aux Égyptiens. La famine augmentait dans le pays d’Égypte.
