Genesis
King James Version (KJV)


“And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.”
King James Version (KJV)
41:50 Two sons - In the names he gave them, he owned the divine Providence giving this happy turn to his affairs. He was made to forget his misery, but could he be so unnatural as to forget all his father's house? And he was made fruitful in the land of his affliction. It had been the land of his affliction, and, in some sense, it was still so, for his distance from his father was still his affliction. Ephraim signifies fruitfulness, and Manasseh forgetfulness.
And Ioseph gathered corne as the sand of the sea, very much, vntill he left numbring: for it was without number.
