Efraim
Përshkrim
Efraimi në shkretëtirë — [Gj 11:54 ], një qytet ku Zoti ynë u tërhoq me dishepujt e tij pasi kishte ringjallur Llazarin, dhe kur priftërinjtë po komplotonin kundër tij. Ai ndodhej në vendin e egër, të papunuar, në kodrat në veri-lindje të Jeruzalemit, midis qyteteve qendrore dhe luginës së Jordanit.

Ephraim
double fruitfulness ("for God had made him fruitful in the land of his affliction"). The second son of Joseph, born in Egypt (Gen 41:52; 46:20). The first incident recorded regarding him is his being placed, along with his brother Manasseh, before their grandfather, Jacob, that he might bless them [(Gen 48:10); comp. (Gen 27:1)]. The intention of Joseph was that the right hand of the aged patriarch should be placed on the head of the elder of the two; but Jacob set Ephraim the younger before his brother, "guiding his hands wittingly." Before Joseph's death, Ephraim's family had reached the third generation (Gen 50:23).
