Joseph stored up grain in such abundance — like the sand of the sea — that he stopped keeping records, because it could no longer be measured.
In context
47During the seven years of abundance, the land produced bountiful harvests. 48Joseph collected all the excess food in the seven years the land of Egypt was enjoying and stored it in the cities, placing in each city the food from the fields around it. 49Joseph stored up grain in such abundance — like the sand of the sea — that he stopped keeping records, because it could no longer be measured. 50Before the years of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath, daughter of Poti-Phera, priest of On. 51Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, saying, “God has made me forget all my hardship and my father’s whole household.”
