SEV Biblia, Chapter 41:50
Y nacieron a José dos hijos antes que viniese el primer año del hambre, los cuales le dio a luz Asenat, hija de Potifera, príncipe de On.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 41:50
Verse 50. Two sons] Whom he called by names expressive of God's particular and bountiful providence towards him. MANASSEH, hnm menashsheh, signifies forgetfulness, from hn nashah, to forget; and EPHRAIM, µyrpa ephrayim, fruitfulness, from hrp parah, to be fruitful; and he called his sons by these names, because God had enabled him to forget all his toil, disgrace, and affliction, and had made him fruitful in the very land in which he had suffered the greatest misfortune and indignities.
Matthew Henry Commentary

We must not be secure in prosperity, nor slothful in making good use of opportunity. Years of plenty will end; what thy hand finds to do, do it; and gather in gathering time. The dearth came, and the famine was not only in Egypt but in other lands. Joseph was diligent in laying up, while the plent lasted. He was prudent and careful in giving out, when the famine came Joseph was engaged in useful and important labours. Yet it was in the midst of this his activity that his father Jacob said, Joseph is not What a large portion of our troubles would be done away if we knew the whole truth! Let these events lead us to Jesus. There is a famine of the bread of life throughout the whole earth. God to Jesus, and what he bids you, do. Attend to His voice, apply to him; he will open his treasures, and satisfy with goodness the hungry soul of every age an nation, without money and without price. But those who slight thi provision must starve, and his enemies will be destroyed __________________________________________________________________
