ten thousands of Ephraim
Deuteronomy 33:17
33:17 ten thousands of Ephraim. Moses’ prophetic prayer for Ephraim and Manasseh, the tribes descended from Joseph, was longer and more positive than for any other tribe. Joshua was from Ephraim (I Chronicles 7:20-27), and Ephraim eventually would become the most prominent tribe of the northern ten-tribe kingdom.
