Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 52. - And the name of the second called he Ephraim: - "Double Fruitfulness" (Keil), "Double Land" (Gesenius), "Fruit." (Furst) - For God (Elohim) hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. This language shows that Joseph had not quite forgotten "all his toil."

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(52) Ephraim.--That is, fruitfulness. The dual ending probably intensifies the meaning.
