01:041:047 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by
handfuls.
01:041:048 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which
were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food
of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
01:041:049 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much,
until he left numbering; for it was without number.
01:041:050 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine
came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto
him.
01:041:051 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For
God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's
house.
01:041:052 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath
caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
01:041:053 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of
Egypt, were ended.
01:041:054 And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as
Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of
Egypt there was bread.
01:041:055 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried
to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto
Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
01:041:056 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph
opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine
waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
01:041:057 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn;
because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
01:042:001 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said
unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
01:042:002 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in
Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may
live, and not die.
01:042:003 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
01:042:004 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his
brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
01:042:005 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that
came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
01:042:006 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that
sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and
bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
01:042:007 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made
himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto
them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy
food.
01:042:008 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
01:042:009 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them,
and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye
are come.
01:042:010 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy
servants come.
01:042:011 We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are
no spies.
