Mount Ephraim

Mount Ephraim, or alternatively Mount of Ephraim, was the historical name for the central mountainous district of Israel once allotted to the Tribe of Ephraim, extending from Bethel to the plain of Jezreel. In Joshua's time, approximately sometime between the 18th century BCE and the 13th century BCE, these hills were densely wooded. They were intersected by well-watered, fertile valleys, referred to in Jeremiah 50:19.
