<p> as a designation of a descendant of the patriarch Ephraim, is properly denoted in the Hebrews by the patronymic בֶּןאּאֶפְרִיַם, ''son of Ephraim'' (&nbsp;Numbers 10:22, plur. [[A.V.]] "children of Ephraim"), or simply ''Ephraim'' (often rendered " Ephraimites" in the [[A.V.);.]] but in &nbsp;Judges 12:5 it appears as a rendering of אֵפְרָתַי, an ''Ephrathite'' (q.v.), meaning thereby, however, an Ephraimite, which is apparently likewise the meaning of the same Hebrews word in &nbsp;1 Samuel 1:1; &nbsp;1 Kings 11:26, in both which passages, however, the [[A.V.]] regularly Anglicizes "Ephrathite." The narrative in Judges raises the inquiry whether the Ephraimites had not a peculiar accent orpatois, similar to that which in later times caused "the speech" of the [[Galilaeans]] to "betray" them to the inhabitants of [[Jerusalem]] (&nbsp;Matthew 26:73). </p>

<p> '''''ē´fra''''' -'''''im''''' -'''''ı̄t''''' ( אפרים , <i> ''''''ephrayim''''' </i> ; singular אפרתי , <i> ''''''ephrāthı̄''''' </i> ): [[A]] member of the tribe of [[Ephraim]] (&nbsp;Joshua 16:10 , etc.). See also [[Ephrathite]] . </p>
