01:041:046 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh
           king of Egypt.  And Joseph went out from the presence of
           Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

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.
