The jealousy signifies the longstanding enmity and competition for dominance. The prophecy indicates a future reconciliation and unity among God's people, suggesting a time of peace and restoration. This can be seen as a foreshadowing of the Messianic age, where divisions among God's people are healed.<p><b>and the adversaries of Judah will be cut off</b><br>This part of the verse speaks to the removal of external threats and internal strife against Judah. Historically, Judah faced numerous adversaries, both from surrounding nations and internal factions. The promise of these adversaries being "cut off" suggests divine intervention and protection, ensuring the security and peace of Judah. This can also be interpreted as a future time when God's kingdom is established, and all opposition is removed.<p><b>Ephraim will no longer envy Judah</b><br>The envy of Ephraim towards Judah highlights the historical tension and desire for supremacy between the two kingdoms. This prophecy envisions a time when such envy is eradicated, symbolizing a harmonious relationship. This can be connected to the broader biblical theme of unity among God's people, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/133.htm">Psalm 133:1</a>, which speaks of the goodness of brethren dwelling together in unity.<p><b>nor will Judah harass Ephraim</b><br>This phrase indicates the cessation of hostilities initiated by Judah against Ephraim. Historically, there were instances where Judah sought to assert dominance over the northern tribes. The prophecy envisions a future where such harassment ceases, pointing to a time of mutual respect and cooperation. This reflects the ideal of peace and unity within the covenant community, aligning with the prophetic vision of a united Israel under the reign of the Messiah.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ephraim.htm">Ephraim</a></b><br>Represents the northern kingdom of Israel, often used to denote the ten tribes that split from Judah after Solomon's reign.

He looked back on the history of the past, and saw almost from the first the deep line of cleavage between north and south, Israel and Judah. Century by century the chasm had grown deeper and wider; sub-sections of antagonism had increased its bitterness (<a href="/isaiah/9-21.htm" title="Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.">Isaiah 9:21</a>); but in the times of the Christ the sense of unity should be stronger than the old hostilities. The prophet's hope connects itself with Hezekiah's efforts after a restored unity (<a href="/context/2_chronicles/30-1.htm" title="And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the LORD God of Israel.">2Chronicles 30:1-12</a>).
