Theological / Devotional

Camp of Ephraim. The second son of Joseph (Gen. 41:52; 46:20), Ephraim was reckoned among the children of Jacob, blessed by him, and given preference over Manasseh (Gen. 48:1, 5, 13, 14, 17, 20). The name is connected with the verb “to bear fruit,” “to be fruitful,” with the noun depicting “a fruitful land,” one of grain or pasture.
