In Jewish eschatology Mashiach ben Yoseph or Messiah ben Joseph (Hebrew: מָשִׁיחַ בֶּן־יוֹסֵף Māšīaḥ ben Yōsēf), also known as Mashiach bar/ben Ephraim (Aram./Heb.: מָשִׁיחַ בַּר/בֶּן אֶפְרַיִם Māšīaḥ bar/ben Efrayīm), is a Jewish messiah from the tribe of Ephraim and a descendant of Joseph.[1] The figure's origins are much debated. Some regard it as a rabbinic invention, but others defend the view that its origins are in the Torah.[2]
