1. First named of the three sons of Ephraim, but not father of Eran (Numbers 26:35-36), though whom he became the progenitor of a family that bore both their names (1 Chronicles 7:20). B.C. post 1856 and ante 1802. (See BERED).
2. A descendant of the preceding, being the son of Zabad and the father of Ezer and Elead (1 Chronicles 7:21). B.C. apparently post 1618.
