I had a go at the Tablet’s crossword and feel quite proud of getting most of the answers. But despite all best efforts I can’t find answers to two clues. Any help would be gratefully received!
1. Leader of the land named after him (I think Ephraim) under Moses
2. Clan leader in Asher, the son of Japhet
Any biblical scholars out there?

In the Bible, Japheth is ascribed seven sons: Gomer, Magog, Tiras, Javan, Meshech, Tubal, and Madai.
No counts?

Sorry! I should have said I have ?l?s?a?a for the first and N?h?a?g for the other . Not necessarily correct in their entirety but most are right I think

Wow! Thanks Mamyalynne! One down, last one to go. I thought I was reasonably good on biblical references but this crosstie was above my pay grade! Interesting though

I'm not an expert by any means, that's kind of you though.

The last letter in my previous suggestion is wrong . A better one is h rather than g. Any luck?

Recheck the other letters Steven.
Sorry, I meant to put a ? mark as I was only guessing, hadn't seen yours Lynne

I hope someone can help you, I don't know which way to turn with this one.

I hope someone has the necessary knowledge

The only name close to that I can find in the Bible is Nehemiah but that has too many letters and doesn't fit the clue!
