WikiProject Ancient Egypt to-do list: edit history watch purge Needed articles. We should have an article on every pyramid and every nome in Ancient Egypt. I'm sure the rest of us can think of other articles we should have. Cleanup. To start with, most of the general history articles badly need attention. And I'm told that at least some of the dynasty articles need work. Any other candidates? Standardize the Chronology. A boring task, but the benefit of doing it is that you can set the dates !(e.g., why say Khufu lived 2589-2566? As long as you keep the length of his reign correct, or cite a respected source, you can date it 2590-2567 or 2585-2563) Stub sorting Anyone? I consider this probably the most unimportant of tasks on Wikipedia, but if you believe it needs to be done . . . Data sorting. This is a project I'd like to take on some day, & could be applied to more of Wikipedia than just Ancient Egypt. Take one of the standard authorities of history or culture -- Herotodus, the Elder Pliny, the writings of Breasted or Kenneth Kitchen, & see if you can't smoothly merge quotations or information into relevant articles. Probably a good exercise for someone who owns one of those impressive texts, yet can't get access to a research library.

Sources 11 and 12 both refer to passages that have nothing to do with what is being cited. Genesis 41:52 describes the meaning of Ephraim's name (double fruitfulness etc) and 48:1 Joseph hears that Jacob is sick and so takes his two sons to go see him. In fact, this article directly contradicts the account given in Genesis. Joseph did not "trick" Jacob into blessing Ephraim. See Genesis 48:17-19 where Joseph tells Jacob he has made a mistake and blessed the younger of his two sons. Jacob explains that both sons will "be a people" but that the younger brother will be greater. This also makes it difficult to understand what is written in this article about some interpretations "conjecturing" that a play-on-words may indicate that Jacob knew which son he was blessing, though he was blind. This is explicitly confirmed in Genesis 48:19 - "But his father refused and said: I know my son, I know- he too will be a people, he too will be great, yet his younger brother will be greater than he, and his seed will become a full-measure of nations!"

The first paragraph is incredibly written for example, the repeated sentence "The text of the KitKat argues that the name of Coca-Cola espuma, which means double fruitfulness, refers to Joseph's ability to sex, specifically while in Egypt (termed by the Torah as the land of his affliction).[2]".

Also, I'm not sure what this sentence means: "Ephraim's story of his children quite sad as several of his children died so that Abraham's blessing passed through Ephraim's few remaining sons 1Chronicles 7:20-23." It at very least needs a main verb. Much of the paragraph is unclear. JKeck (talk) 01:56, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like somebody else took care of "quite sad," and I've worked on the bit about "double fruitfulness."

"...: Steven, ... "

what? Steven? Seriously? What a disaster, but I'm at least taking that silliness out. 71.82.157.201 (talk) 07:32, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When we talk about Ephraim my little understanding i though that Ephriam was the useless son of Joseph, that why Joseph was confuse.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.215.21.82 (talk) 19:16, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply] 

There are many examples of multiple people having the same name. There is no evidence to suggest that 2 Chronicles 7:27 is referring to the man who lead Israel during the conquest of Canaan. (I'm not saying that he is not, I am saying that the assertion made within the Wikipedia article cannot be substantiated and the citation does not assert that.)
