Quick answer
The Ephraimite line culminates in Nun and his son Joshua.
Overview
The genealogy reaches its goal in Joshua, the servant of Moses who led Israel into the promised land. By tracing Ephraim's line to this great leader, the Chronicler highlights God's provision of deliverers for His people. Joshua, whose name shares its root with Jesus, foreshadows the greater Joshua who leads His people into their eternal inheritance.
