It is primarily known as the birthplace of Jesus Christ, fulfilling the prophecy of the Messiah's birth in the town of David (Micah 5:2). It is also the setting for the account of Ruth and the hometown of King David.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Bethlehem is located about six miles south of Jerusalem in the Judean hills. In biblical times, it was a small town but held great significance due to its association with King David and as the prophesied birthplace of the Messiah. The town's name, "house of bread," reflects its agricultural heritage, situated in a fertile region conducive to grain production. Bethlehem's historical and theological importance is underscored by its mention in both the Old and New Testaments.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Hebrew origin <a href="/hebrew/1035.htm">Beth</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"house of bread," Bethlehem, a city near Jer.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Bethlehem (8).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 965: Βηθλημ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Βηθλημ</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (indecl) (in <span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span> not only so (Antiquities 8, 10, 1), but also <span class="greek2">Βηθλημη</span>, <span class="greek2">Βηθλημης</span>, Antiquities 6, 8, 1; 11, 7; (7, 1, 3); <span class="greek2">ἀπό</span> <span class="greek2">Βηθλεμων</span>, 5, 2, 8; <span class="greek2">ἐκ</span> <span class="greek2">Βηθλημων</span>, 5, 9, 1; (cf. 7, 13; 9, 2)), <span class="accented">Bethlehem</span> (<span class="hebrew">לֶחֶם</span> <span class="hebrew">בֵּית</span> house of bread), a little town, named from the fertility of its sort, six Roman miles south of Jerusalem; now Beit Lachm, with about 3,000 ("5,000," Baedeker) inhabitants: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/2-1.htm">Matthew 2:1, 5f, 8, 16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/2-4.htm">Luke 2:4, 15</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/7-42.htm">John 7:42</a>.
