Description

"Joseph has the majesty of a young bull... He will gore distant nations, driving them to the ends of the earth. This is my blessing for the multitudes of Ephraim."
~  Deuteronomy 33:17

The Tribe of Ephraim, together with the Tribe of Manasseh, forms the House of Joseph. The first king of the Northern Kingdom of Israel was Jeroboam the Ephraimite. He erected calf idols as symbols of God. (Ah, that worked out so well the first time, dinnit?)

The Tribe is portrayed as domineering, haughty, discontented, jealous, and highly irreligious. It was foretold in Ezekiel that one day Ephraim (the Lost Tribes) and Judah (the Jewish People) will be made one people again.

The Sigil of the House of Jeroboam is a Golden Bull on a field of Onyx, correlating to Joseph's stone in the Hoshen breastplate.
