The tribe of Ephraim held a significant position in Israel's history, often representing the northern kingdom. This allocation of land signifies the restoration and reestablishment of the tribes in the Promised Land, reflecting God's faithfulness to His covenant with the patriarchs. The mention of Ephraim here underscores the importance of each tribe receiving its inheritance, as originally intended.<p><b>bordering the territory of Manasseh</b><br>Ephraim and Manasseh were both sons of Joseph, and their territories were adjacent, reflecting their familial connection. Historically, these tribes were closely linked, often working together, yet also experiencing tensions. The allocation of land next to each other symbolizes unity and continuity within the family of Israel. This geographical arrangement also highlights the fulfillment of Jacob's blessing over Joseph's sons in <a href="/genesis/48.htm">Genesis 48</a>, where both Ephraim and Manasseh were promised a significant inheritance.<p><b>from east to west</b><br>The description of the land stretching from east to west indicates a horizontal division across the land, suggesting a broad and inclusive inheritance. This phrase emphasizes the comprehensive nature of God's promise, ensuring that each tribe receives a fair and equitable portion. The east-to-west orientation also reflects the typical way of describing land allocations in ancient Israel, aligning with the natural geography and the rising and setting of the sun, symbolizing God's order and provision.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ephraim.htm">Ephraim</a></b><br>One of the tribes of Israel, descended from Joseph's younger son.
