over the Ephraimites
The term "Ephraimites" refers to the descendants of Ephraim, one of the sons of Joseph and a prominent tribe in Israel. Historically, Ephraim held a significant position among the tribes, often representing the northern kingdom of Israel. The Hebrew root for Ephraim, "Ephrayim," suggests fruitfulness, reflecting the tribe's growth and influence. This phrase indicates leadership and governance, emphasizing the importance of strong, godly leadership in maintaining the spiritual and social order within the community.

was Hoshea son of Azaziah
"Hoshea" means "salvation" in Hebrew, a name that signifies deliverance and hope. The mention of Hoshea as a leader over the Ephraimites highlights the role of leaders as instruments of God's salvation and guidance for His people. "Azaziah" means "Yahweh is strong," suggesting a lineage of strength and divine support. This lineage underscores the belief that God empowers leaders to fulfill their roles effectively, reminding us of the divine strength available to those who trust in Him.

over the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead
The "half-tribe of Manasseh" refers to the division of the tribe of Manasseh, with one half settling east of the Jordan River in Gilead. Gilead, a region known for its balm and fertile land, symbolizes healing and prosperity. The division of the tribe reflects the broader theme of unity and diversity within the people of God, where different groups have distinct roles yet remain part of the whole. This phrase encourages believers to embrace their unique callings while maintaining unity in the body of Christ.

was Joel son of Pedaiah
"Joel" means "Yahweh is God," a declaration of faith and acknowledgment of God's sovereignty. The name serves as a reminder of the centrality of God in the life of His people. "Pedaiah" means "Yahweh has ransomed," pointing to the redemptive work of God throughout history. This lineage emphasizes the theme of redemption and the assurance that God is actively involved in the lives of His people, guiding and redeeming them for His purposes.

(20) Of the half tribe of Manasseh.--That on the west of Jordan, between Ephraim and Issachar.
