In the Old Testament, Ephraim is one of the tribes of Israel, named after the second son of Joseph and Asenath. The name Ephraim means "fruitful," reflecting the blessing of Jacob over Joseph's sons (Genesis 41:52).<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Ephraim was one of the most prominent tribes in Israel, often representing the Northern Kingdom due to its size and influence. The tribe's territory was centrally located in the land of Canaan, making it a significant political and spiritual center. The city of Shiloh, where the Tabernacle was located before the Temple was built in Jerusalem, was within Ephraim's territory. The tribe's prominence is also seen in its frequent mention in prophetic literature, often symbolizing the Northern Kingdom of Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>probably of Hebrew origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Ephraim, a city near Jer.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Ephraim (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2187: Αφραιμ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Αφραιμ</span></span> or (so <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span>) <span class="greek2">Αφραιμ</span> (cf.
