20 And the sons of Ephraim: Shuthelah and Bered his son, and Tahath his son, and Eleadah his son, and Tahath his son, 21 And Zabad his son, and Shuthelah his son, and Ezer and Elead, whom the men of Gath, who had been living in the land from their birth, put to death, because they came down to take away their cattle. 22 And for a long time Ephraim their father went on weeping for them, and his brothers came to give him comfort. 23 After that, he had connection with his wife, and she became with child and gave birth to a son, to whom his father gave the name of Beriah, because trouble had come on his family. 24 And his daughter was Sheerah, the builder of Beth-horon the lower and the higher, and Uzzen-sheerah. 25 And Rephah was his son, and Resheph; his son was Telah, and his son was Tahan; 26 Ladan was his son, Ammihud his son, Elishama his son, 27 Nun his son, Joshua his son. 28 Their heritage and their living-places were Beth-el and its daughter-towns, and Naaran to the east, and Gezer to the west, with its daughter-towns, as well as Shechem and its daughter-towns as far as Azzah and its daughter-towns; 29 And by the limits of the children of Manasseh, Beth-shean and its daughter-towns, Taanach, Megiddo, and Dor, with their daughter-towns.

Cross-References

Genesis 2:7
And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth, breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul.
Genesis 6:17
For truly, I will send a great flow of waters over the earth, for the destruction from under the heaven of all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything on the earth will come to an end.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Ephraim their father mourned many days,.... For the loss of his son and grandchildren for the above fact was done while the Israelites were in Egypt, and Ephraim the patriarch yet alive; nor is there any need to suppose another Ephraim, different from him:

and his brethren came to comfort him; some of the heads of the other tribes of Israel, particularly Manasseh, with some of his family.
