THE STORY OF EPHRAIM

Hello 👋 friends, glad to see you and welcome to this amazing topic: THE STORY OF EPHRAIM. 

Ephraim is the second son of Joseph, he was born and raised in Egypt, and when the Israelites arrived in Egypt, Jacob adopted Ephraim and  Manasseh to share in his inheritance or be among the 12 tribes of Israel. His mother was Asenath, the daughter of Potipherah, a priest of On. 

He was a good man and fear the Lord. These are the sons of Ephraim: Shuthelah, Elead, Beker, Tahan, and Ezer. 

These are the generation of Ephraim: Elishama the father of Nun and grandfather of Joshua (Elishama father’s name was Ammihud).  Kemuel the son of Shipthan. They all partake in the journey of the Israelites through the wilderness and were leaders, princes and among those that shared the land to the 12 tribes of Israel. 

Joshua from the house of Ephraim, the son of Nun was the successor of Moses and he led the Israelites into the “Promise Land”. He was in charge and assigned possessions among the 12 tribes of Israel. It was said that the house of Ephraim settlements/possessions were the most fertile region in the land of Canaan. Bethel and Shiloh are among important cities in their territory.

The first northern king of Israel was from the house of Ephraim and his name is Jeroboam. Remember they (northern Israel) were always referred as the house of Ephraim.
