First, in plain English

Joseph's younger son. When Jacob blessed the two boys he crossed his hands on purpose and gave Ephraim the bigger blessing over Manasseh. The tribe came to dominate the north so much that the prophets use Ephraim for the whole northern kingdom.

Who this is

Ephraim was Joseph's younger son, given the greater blessing over his older brother Manasseh when their grandfather Jacob deliberately crossed his hands to bless the younger first. Ephraim's tribe became so dominant in the northern kingdom that Ephraim is often used as a poetic stand-in for the whole northern kingdom of Israel in the prophetic books.
