Ephraim, Mount
the central mountainous district of Palestine occupied by the tribe of Ephraim [Jos 17:15 ; Jos 19:50 ; Jos 20:7 ], extending from Bethel to the plain of Jezreel. In Joshua's time [Jos 17:18 ] these hills were densely wooded. They were intersected by well‑watered, fertile valleys, referred to in [Jer 50:19 ]. Joshua was buried at Timnath‑heres among the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash [Dom 2:9 ]. This region is also called the “mountains of Israel” [Jos 11:21 ] and the “mountains of Samaria” [Jer 31:5 ; Jer 31:6 ; Am 3:9 ].
