   A hunter's name for the grizzly bear.
   [1913 Webster]

Ephraim
   double fruitfulness ("for God had made him fruitful in the land
   of his affliction"). The second son of Joseph, born in Egypt
   (Gen. 41:52; 46:20). The first incident recorded regarding him
   is his being placed, along with his brother Manasseh, before
   their grandfather, Jacob, that he might bless them (48:10; comp.
   27:1). The intention of Joseph was that the right hand of the
   aged patriarch should be placed on the head of the elder of the
   two; but Jacob set Ephraim the younger before his brother,
   "guiding his hands wittingly." Before Joseph's death, Ephraim's
   family had reached the third generation (Gen. 50:23).
