22 And E'phraim their father mourned many days, and his brothers came to comfort him.
23 And E'phraim went in to his wife, and she conceived and bore a son; and he called his name Beri'ah, because evil had befallen his house.

25 Rephah was his son, Resheph his son, Telah his son, Tahan his son,
26 Ladan his son, Ammi'hud his son, Eli'shama his son,
27 Nun his son, Joshua his son.

29 also along the borders of the Manas'sites, Beth-she'an and its towns, Ta'anach and its towns, Megid'do and its towns, Dor and its towns. In these dwelt the sons of Joseph the son of Israel.

31 The sons of Beri'ah: Heber and Mal'chi-el, who was the father of Bir'zaith.
32 Heber was the father of Japhlet, Shomer, Hotham, and their sister Shu'a.
