Genesis 41:46-53

"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, And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth handfuls. And he gathered up all the food for 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 up he in the same. And Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left off numbering; for it was without number. And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bare unto him. And Joseph called the name of the first-born Manasseh: For he said, God hath made me forget all my toil, and my father's house. And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath made me fruitful in the land of my affliction. And the seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end."

The mention of "all the food of the seven years" (Genesis 41:48) means "all the food under consideration," namely, the double tithe, or one-fifth that had been appointed to be stored up.

"Made me forget ... all my father's house ..." was memorialized in the meaning of Manasseh, Joseph's first-born. And Calvin censured Joseph for this,[20] to which judgment many scholars object, but there appears to be justification for Calvin's view. The name which Joseph here used for God, was [~'Elohiym], the great Creator-God, and not Jehovah, the God of the covenant, thus leaving the impression that Joseph may have, at the moment, been drifting away from the stern implications of the holy covenant name for God. Surely, his marriage with a pagan princess was not in keeping with that covenant. However it was, the terrible years of famine were about to begin, and during the rigors of those years, and his eventual reunion with his family, all of his old faith in the blessed covenant was renewed. And, on his deathbed he requested that when Israel entered Canaan, they would carry his bones with them (Genesis 50:26).
