The Sons of Joseph

50 Now before the year of famine came, (A)two sons were born to Joseph, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of (a)On, bore to him. 51 Joseph named the firstborn (b)Manasseh, “For,” he said, “God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father’s household.” 52 He named the second (c)Ephraim, “For,” he said, “(B)God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
