    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 (48:10; comp.
    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).
