Abstract :This study claims that the word al-Sāmirī for the maker of the calf in the Qur’an was used for the Josephite in general sense and the Ephraimite in particular. The author proposes that the word Sāmirī derives from sa-meri (beloved son) in Ancient Egyptian language. Accordingly, it refers to beloved son of Jacob who is Joseph and to his offsprings, specifically to the Ephraimites. As a result of the same usage, the land of Ephraim takes the name Samaria after sa-meri
