Genesis 41:52
Douay-Rheims
And he named the second Ephraim, saying: God hath made me to grow in the land of my poverty.
Keil & Delitzsch
The second son he named Ephraim, i.e., double-fruitfulness; "for God hath made me fruitful in the land of my affliction." Even after his elevation Egypt still continued the land of affliction, so that in this word we may see one trace of a longing for the promised land.
