[[Genesis]] 36:2136:2736:30 <p> The second [[Hebrew]] meaning is “help” or “hero.” 1. A descendant of [[Judah]] (1 Chronicles 4:4 ) in the clan of Caleb. 2. [[Son]] of [[Ephraim]] and grandson of Jacob. With his brother Elead, he was killed as he tried to take cattle from the inhabitants of [[Gath]] (1 Chronicles 7:21 ). Ephraim was born and lived in [[Egypt]] with his family (Genesis 46:20 ). When any of his immediate family would have had opportunity to visit Gath and steal cattle is a difficult question. It may be history of clans of Ephraim and refer to a moment of mourning in the history of families descended from Ephraim. The place in the middle of the list of descendants of Ephraim and ancestors of Joshua points to a time after that of Ephraim himself. Otherwise, a different Ephraim from the son of [[Jacob]] is meant, or Ephraim, the son of Jacob, entered Palestine, but the [[Bible]] did not preserve a story of his travels. 3. [[Member]] of tribe of [[Gad]] who joined David's wilderness army before he became king (1 Chronicles 12:9 ). 4 . [[Person]] who helped Nehemiah repair the [[Jerusalem]] wall. His father had political authority over [[Mizpah]] (Nehemiah 3:19 ). 5 . [[Temple]] musician who helped Nehemiah dedicate the completion of the Jerusalem wall (Nehemiah 12:42 , with a slightly different Hebrew spelling). See [[Ebenezer]] . </p>
