It can refer to an inhabitant of Ephrath or someone belonging to the tribe of Ephraim, depending on the context. The term is used to identify lineage or geographical origin.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Ephrath, often equated with Bethlehem, holds significant historical and theological importance in the Bible. It is the birthplace of King David and later, according to Christian tradition, of Jesus Christ. The term "Ephrathite" thus carries connotations of royal lineage and messianic prophecy. In the context of the tribe of Ephraim, it denotes a connection to one of the prominent tribes of Israel, known for its leadership and military prowess.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/666.htm">apher</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a desc. of Ephraim, also an inhab. of Ephrath<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Ephraimite (3), Ephrathite (1), Ephrathites (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֶפְרָתִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective, of a people</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Ephrathite</b></font>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Ephraimite</b></font>, compare <font class="hebrew2">אֶפְרָתָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/12-5.htm">Judges 12:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/1-1.htm">1 Samuel 1:1</a> (of ancestor of Elkanah) <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/11-26.htm">1 Kings 11:26</a> (of Jeroboam) <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>from</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font>; <font class="hebrew2">מִבֵּית לֶחֶם</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/17-12.htm">1 Samuel 17:12</a> (of Jesse); plural <font class="hebrew2">אֶפְרָתִים</font> <font class="hebrew2">מִבֵּית לֶחֶם</font> <a href="/interlinear/ruth/1-2.htm">Ruth 1:2</a>. <p><font class="hebrew2">אפת</font> (meaning dubious √ whence Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb006806.gif"> <em>calamity</em>, & also <em>wonder, portent</em>; according to Thes Arabic √ = <img src="/bdbgif/bdb006807.gif"> <em>suffer evil</em>). <font size="+1">**</font>but Thes<sup>612.
