**Ephraim**
In the prophetic books "Ephraim" and "Israel" are the collective names of the ten tribes who, under Jeroboam, established the northern kingdom, subsequently called Samaria [1 Kings 16:24](../../../kjv/1-kings/16/24) and were (B.C. 722) sent into an exile which still continues. [2 Kings 17:1-6](../../../kjv/2-kings/17/1-6).
They are distinguished as "the outcasts of Israel" from "the dispersed of Judah." [Isaiah 11:12](../../../kjv/isaiah/11/12). "Hidden" in the world [Matthew 13:44](../../../kjv/matthew/13/44) they, with Judah, are yet to be restored to Palestine and made one nation again. ; [Jeremiah 23:5-8](../../../kjv/jeremiah/23/5-8); [Ezekiel 37:11-24](../../../kjv/ezekiel/37/11-24).

**Shearjashub**
Meaning, a remnant shall return. [Isaiah 8:3](../../../kjv/isaiah/8/3).

**Hear ye now**
The prophecy is not addressed to the faithless Ahaz, but to the whole "house of David." The objection that such a far-off event as the birth of Christ could be no "sign" to Ahaz, is, therefore, puerile. It was a continuing prophecy addressed to the Davidic family, and accounts at once for the instant assent of Mary. [Luke 1:38](../../../kjv/luke/1/38).

**Butter and honey**
Indicating the plainness and simplicity of the life in which the young Immanuel should be brought up.
