Tribe of Ephraim

"Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment,"

"Because Ephraim has made many altars for sin, | They have become for him altars for sinning."

"Though he is fruitful among his brethren,"

"I know Ephraim,"

"“Ephraim is joined to idols,"

"Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;"

"The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, | Turned back in the day of battle. | They did not keep the covenant of God; | They refused to walk in His law, | And forgot His works | And His wonders that He had shown them."

"Manasseh shall devour Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh;"

"Moreover He rejected the tent of Joseph,"
