and in Double-Fruitfulness (Ephraim)

Rootפרה (p-r-h)
Core Meaningsfruitfulness, fertility, increase, productivity
Semantic RangeEphraim as the second son of Joseph; the tribe descended from him; the tribal territory; by extension, the northern kingdom of Israel.
Conceptual SignificanceEphraim, whose name signifies fruitfulness, embodies the blessing of increase promised to Joseph. In prophetic literature, "Ephraim" often represents the northern kingdom as a whole, highlighting both covenantal fruitfulness and later spiritual unfaithfulness.
Morphological NotesCompound form: וּ (conjunction "and") + בְ (preposition "in") + אֶפְרַיִם (masculine proper noun, dual form in -ַיִם). Functions as a locative phrase.
Rendering RationaleThe proper noun אֶפְרַיִם derives from the root פרה, "to be fruitful," and is traditionally understood as "double fruitfulness." The rendering preserves the conjunction וּ ("and") and the preposition בְ ("in"), while reflecting the dual form embedded in the name. As a masculine proper noun (Np), it is rendered as a singular place or tribal name.
