Ephraim

And the second son he named Ephraim, saying, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”

Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph in the land of Egypt by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.

Some time later Joseph was told, “Your father is ill.” So he set out with his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.

And now your two sons born to you in Egypt before I came to you here shall be reckoned as mine; Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, just as Reuben and Simeon are mine.

And Joseph took both of them—with Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand—and brought them close to him.

But Israel stretched out his right hand and put it on the head of Ephraim, the younger; and crossing his hands, he put his left on Manasseh’s head, although Manasseh was the firstborn.

When Joseph saw that his father had placed his right hand on Ephraim’s head, he was displeased and took his father’s hand to move it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s.

So that day Jacob blessed them and said: “By you shall Israel pronounce this blessing: ‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.’” So he put Ephraim before Manasseh.

He saw Ephraim’s sons to the third generation, and indeed the sons of Machir son of Manasseh were brought up on Joseph’s knees.

from the sons of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud, and from Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur;

From the sons of Joseph:

From the sons of Ephraim, according to the records of their clans and families, counting the names of all those twenty years of age or older who could serve in the army, those registered to the tribe of Ephraim numbered 40,500.

On the west side, the divisions of Ephraim are to camp under their standard:

The total number of men in the divisions of the camp of Ephraim is 108,100; they shall set out third.

On the seventh day Elishama son of Ammihud, the leader of the Ephraimites, drew near.

Next, the divisions of the camp of Ephraim set out under their standard, with Elishama son of Ammihud in command.

from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;

The descendants of Joseph included the clans of Manasseh and Ephraim.

These were the descendants of Ephraim by their clans: The Shuthelahite clan from Shuthelah, the Becherite clan from Becher, and the Tahanite clan from Tahan.

These were the clans of Ephraim, and their registration numbered 32,500. These clans were the descendants of Joseph.

Kemuel son of Shiphtan, a leader from the tribe of Ephraim;

His majesty is like a firstborn bull, and his horns are like those of a wild ox. With them he will gore the nations, even to the ends of the earth. Such are the myriads of Ephraim, and such are the thousands of Manasseh.”

all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea,

The descendants of Joseph became two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. And no portion of the land was given to the Levites, except for cities in which to live, along with pasturelands for their flocks and herds.

So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance.
