It is historically significant and frequently mentioned in the Bible. Biblical Significance: Bethlehem holds a prominent place in biblical history and prophecy. It is first mentioned in <a href="/genesis/35-19.htm">Genesis 35:19</a> as the burial place of Rachel, Jacob's wife. The town is also the setting for the Book of Ruth, where Ruth gleaned in the fields of Boaz, leading to her marriage and becoming the great-grandmother of King David. Davidic Connection: Bethlehem is famously known as the "City of David" because it is the birthplace and early home of King David. In <a href="/1_samuel/16.htm">1 Samuel 16:1</a>, the prophet Samuel is sent by God to Bethlehem to anoint David as the future king of Israel. This connection to David is significant in the messianic prophecies concerning Jesus Christ. Prophetic Fulfillment: The prophet Micah foretold the birth of the Messiah in Bethlehem: "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come forth for Me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times" (<a href="/micah/5-2.htm">Micah 5:2</a>). This prophecy is fulfilled in the New Testament with the birth of Jesus Christ. Birthplace of Jesus Christ: Bethlehem is most renowned as the birthplace of Jesus Christ. According to the Gospel of Matthew, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the newborn King of the Jews, and Herod's scribes identified Bethlehem as the prophesied location (<a href="/matthew/2.htm">Matthew 2:1-6</a>). The Gospel of Luke provides a detailed account of Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, noting that Joseph and Mary traveled there due to a Roman census (<a href="/luke/2.htm">Luke 2:1-7</a>). Historical and Theological Importance: Bethlehem's role as the birthplace of Jesus underscores its theological importance in Christianity. It symbolizes the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the humble beginnings of the Savior. The town's association with bread, as implied by its name, also resonates with Jesus' later identification as the "Bread of Life" (<a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>). Modern-Day Bethlehem: Today, Bethlehem is a city in the West Bank, with a significant Christian population and numerous sites of religious pilgrimage, including the Church of the Nativity, which is traditionally believed to be the birthplace of Jesus. The city's rich biblical heritage continues to draw visitors and scholars interested in its historical and spiritual significance.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Bethlehem(house of bread). <ol> <li>One of the oldest towns in Palestine, already in existence at the time of Jacob's return to the country.

It covers the east and northeast parts of the ridge of a long gray hill of Jura limestone, which stands nearly due east and west, and is about a mile in length. The hill has a deep valley on the north and another on the south. On the top lies the village in a kind of irregular triangle. The population is about 3000 souls, entirely Christians. The Church of the Nativity, built by the empress Helena A.D. 330, is the oldest Christian church in existence. It is built over the grotto where Christ is supposed to have been born.</li> <li>A town in the portion of Zebulun, named nowhere but in (<a href="/joshua/19-15.htm">Joshua 19:15</a>) Now known as Beit-lahm .</li> </ol><a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div>BethlehemHouse of bread, 1. A celebrated city, the birthplace of David and of Christ. It was in the tribe of Judah, six miles south by west of Jerusalem, and probably received its appellation from the fertility of the circumjacent country. This also gave it its ancient name Ephrath, fruitful, <a href="/genesis/48-7.htm">Genesis 48:7</a> <a href="/micah/5-2.htm">Micah 5:2</a>. It was beautifully situated on an oblong ridge, twenty-seven hundred feet above the level of the sea, and affording a fine view in every direction. The hills around it were terraced, and clothed with vines, fig trees, and almonds; and the valleys around it bore rich crops of grain. It was fortified by Rehoboam, <a href="/context/2_chronicles/11-6.htm">2 Chronicles 11:6</a>, but was comparatively an unimportant place, <a href="/context/micah/5-1.htm">Micah 5:1</a>, and is not mentioned by Joshua or Nehemiah among the cities of Judah. Its memory is delightfully associated with the names of Boaz and Ruth; it is celebrated as the birthplace and city of David, <a href="/context/1_samuel/17-12.htm">1 Samuel 17:12</a>,15 20:6 <a href="/context/2_samuel/23-14.htm">2 Samuel 23:14-17</a> but above all, it is hallowed as the place where the Redeemer was born. Over that lovely spot the guiding star hovered; there the eastern sages worshipped the King of kings, and there where David watched his flock and praised God, were heard the songs of the angelic host at the Savior's birth, <a href="/luke/2-8.htm">Luke 2:8</a>. Bethlehem is now called Beit-lahm, and contains about three thousand inhabitants, almost exclusively nominal Christians. Half a mile north is the spot pointed out by traditional as Rachel's tomb, <a href="/context/genesis/35-16.htm">Genesis 35:16-20</a>; and about two miles south-west are the great reservoirs described under Solomon's Pools. 2. An unknown place in Zebulun, <a href="/joshua/19-15.htm">Joshua 19:15</a> Jud 12:10, in distinction from which the city of David was often called Bethlehem-Judah. <a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>House of bread. (1.) A city in the "hill country" of Judah. It was originally called Ephrath (<a href="/genesis/35-16.htm">Genesis 35:16</a>, 19; <a href="/genesis/48-7.htm">48:7</a>; <a href="/ruth/4-11.htm">Ruth 4:11</a>). It was also called Beth-lehem Ephratah (<a href="/micah/5-2.htm">Micah 5:2</a>), Beth-lehem-judah (<a href="/1_samuel/17-12.htm">1 Samuel 17:12</a>), and "the city of David" (<a href="/luke/2-4.htm">Luke 2:4</a>). It is first noticed in Scripture as the place where Rachel died and was buried "by the wayside," directly to the north of the city (<a href="/genesis/48-7.htm">Genesis 48:7</a>). The valley to the east was the scene of the story of Ruth the Moabitess. There are the fields in which she gleaned, and the path by which she and Naomi returned to the town. Here was David's birth-place, and here also, in after years, he was anointed as king by Samuel (<a href="/1_samuel/16-4.htm">1 Samuel 16:4</a>-13); and it was from the well of Bethlehem that three of his heroes brought water for him at the risk of their lives when he was in the cave of Adullam (<a href="/2_samuel/23-13.htm">2 Samuel 23:13</a>-17). But it was distinguished above every other city as the birth-place of "Him whose goings forth have been of old" (<a href="/matthew/2-6.htm">Matthew 2:6</a>; Comp. <a href="/micah/5-2.htm">Micah 5:2</a>). Afterwards Herod, "when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men," sent and slew "all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under" (<a href="/matthew/2-16.htm">Matthew 2:16</a>, 18; <a href="/jeremiah/31-15.htm">Jeremiah 31:15</a>).Bethlehem bears the modern name of Beit-Lahm, i.e., "house of flesh." It is about 5 miles south of Jerusalem, standing at an elevation of about 2,550 feet above the sea, thus 100 feet higher than Jerusalem.There is a church still existing, built by Constantine the Great (A.D. 330), called the "Church of the Nativity," over a grotto or cave called the "holy crypt," and said to be the "stable" in which Jesus was born. This is perhaps the oldest existing Christian church in the world. Close to it is another grotto, where Jerome the Latin father is said to have spent thirty years of his life in translating the Scriptures into Latin. (see <a href="../v/version.htm">VERSION</a>.)(2.) A city of Zebulun, mentioned only in <a href="/joshua/19-15.htm">Joshua 19:15</a>.

Bethlehem Judah: Bethlehem Judah, or EPHRATH or EPHRATHAH (which see) is now Beit Lahm (Arabic = "house of meat"), a town of upward of 10,000 inhabitants, 5 miles South of Jerusalem and 2,350 ft. above sea level. It occupies an outstanding position upon a spur running East from the watershed with deep valleys to the Northeast and South It is just off the main road to Hebron and the south, but upon the highroad to Tekoa and En-gedi. The position is one of natural strength; it was occupied by a garrison of the Philistines in the days of David (<a href="/2_samuel/23-14.htm">2 Samuel 23:14</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/11-16.htm">1 Chronicles 11:16</a>) and was fortified by Rehoboam (<a href="/2_chronicles/11-6.htm">2 Chronicles 11:6</a>). The surrounding country is fertile, cornfields, fig and olive yards and vineyards abound. Bethlehem is not naturally well supplied with water, the nearest spring is 800 yds. to the Southeast, but for many centuries the "low level aqueduct" from "Solomon's Pools" in the ArTas valley, which has here been tunneled through the hill, has been tapped by the inhabitants; there are also many rock-cut cisterns. 1. Early History: In <a href="/1_chronicles/2-51.htm">1 Chronicles 2:51</a> Salma, the son of Caleb, is described as the "father of Bethlehem." In <a href="/genesis/35-19.htm">Genesis 35:19</a>; <a href="/genesis/48-7.htm">Genesis 48:7</a> it is recorded that Rachel "was buried in the way to Ephrath (the same is Beth-lehem)." Tradition points out the site of Rachel's tomb near where the road to Bethlehem leaves the main road. The Levites of the events of <a href="/nasb/judges/17.htm">Judges 17</a> <a href="/nasb/judges/19.htm">Judges 19</a> were Bethlehemites. In the list of the towns of Judah the name Bethlehem occurs, in the Septuagint version only in <a href="/joshua/15-57.htm">Joshua 15:57</a>. 2. David the Bethlehemite: Ruth, famous chiefly as the ancestress of David, and of the Messiah, settled in Bethlehem with her second husband Boaz, and it is noticeable that from her new home she could view the mountains of Moab, her native land. David himself "was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem-judah, whose name was Jesse" (<a href="/1_samuel/17-12.htm">1 Samuel 17:12</a>). To Bethlehem came Samuel to anoint a successor to unworthy Saul (<a href="/1_samuel/16-4.htm">1 Samuel 16:4</a>): "David went to and fro from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem" (<a href="/1_samuel/17-15.htm">1 Samuel 17:15</a>). David's "three mighty men" "brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David" (<a href="/2_samuel/23-14.htm">2 Samuel 23:14, 16</a>). Tradition still points out the well. From this town came those famous "sons of Zeruiah," David's nephews, whose loyalty and whose ruthless cruelty became at once a protection and a menace to their royal relative: in <a href="/2_samuel/2-32.htm">2 Samuel 2:32</a> it is mentioned that one of them, Asahel, was buried "in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem." 3. Later Bible History: After the time of David, Bethlehem would appear to have sunk into insignificance. But its future fame is pointed at by Micah (<a href="/micah/5-2.htm">Micah 5:2</a>): "But thou, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting." In the return of the Jews captive Bethlehemites re-inhabited the place (<a href="/ezra/2-21.htm">Ezra 2:21</a> <a href="/nehemiah/7-26.htm">Nehemiah 7:26</a> "men"; 1 Esdras 5:17 "sons"). 4. The Christian Era: In the New Testament Bethlehem is mentioned as the birthplace of the Messiah Jesus (<a href="/matthew/2-1.htm">Matthew 2:1, 5</a> <a href="/luke/2-4.htm">Luke 2:4, 25</a>) in consequence of which event occurred Herod's "massacre of the innocents" (<a href="/matthew/2-8.htm">Matthew 2:8, 16</a>). Inasmuch as Hadrian devastated Bethlehem and set up there a sacred grove to Adonis (Jerome, Ep. ad Paul, lviii.3) it is clear that veneration of this spot as the site of the Nativity must go back before 132 A.D. Constantine (circa 330) founded a basilica over the cave-stable which tradition pointed out as the scene of the birth, and his church, unchanged in general structure though enlarged by Justinian and frequently adorned, repaired and damaged, remains today the chief attraction of the town. During the Crusades, Bethlehem became of great importance and prosperity; it remained in Christian hands after the overthrow of the Latin kingdom, and at the present day it is in material things one of the most prosperous Christian centers in the Holy Land. II. Bethlehem of Zebulun: Bethlehem of Zebulun (<a href="/joshua/19-15.htm">Joshua 19:15</a>) was probably the home of Ibzan (<a href="/judges/12-8.htm">Judges 12:8</a>) though Jewish tradition is in support of (1). See Josephus, Ant, V, vii, 13. This is now the small village of Beit Lahm, some 7 miles Northwest of Nazareth on the edge of the oak forest. Some antiquities have been found here recently, showing that in earlier days it was a place of some importance. It is now the site of a small German colony.
