Gênesis 41:50 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 41:50

And unto Joseph were born two sons
The word for "born" is singular; hence Ben Melech conjectures that they were twins: and this was before the years of famine came;
or "the year of famine" F17; the first year: which Asenath, the daughter of Potipherah priest of On, bare unto him;
which is observed, to show that he had them by his lawful wife; whom the Targum of Jonathan wrongly again makes the daughter of Dinah, and her father prince of Tanis, the same with Zoan; whereas this was "On" or "Heliopolis", a very different place; so Artapanus says F18, that Joseph married the daughter of the priest of Heliopolis, by whom he had children; and another Heathen writer F19 mentions their names, Ephraim and Manesseh.

Gênesis 41:50 In-Context

48 José recolheu todo o excedente dos sete anos de fartura no Egito e o armazenou nas cidades. Em cada cidade ele armazenava o trigo colhido nas lavouras das redondezas.
49 Assim José estocou muito trigo, como a areia do mar. Tal era a quantidade que ele parou de anotar, porque ia além de toda medida.
50 Antes dos anos de fome, Azenate, filha de Potífera, sacerdote de Om, deu a José dois filhos.
51 Ao primeiro, José deu o nome de Manassés, dizendo: “Deus me fez esquecer todo o meu sofrimento e toda a casa de meu pai”.
52 Ao segundo filho, chamou Efraim, dizendo: “Deus me fez prosperar na terra onde tenho sofrido”.
