"Ephrathah" is a geographical designation, referring to a region or clan within Judah.<p><span class="tophdg">Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: </span>While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Caleb Ephrathah," the name Caleb is sometimes associated with the Greek name Χάλεβ (Chaleb) in the Septuagint.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "Caleb Ephrathah" is used to denote a specific lineage or family group within the tribe of Judah. Caleb is a notable figure in the Hebrew Bible, known for his faithfulness and courage as one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan. Ephrathah is often associated with Bethlehem, indicating a connection to this significant location.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Caleb is a prominent figure in the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Numbers and Joshua. He is celebrated for his unwavering faith in God's promises, standing alongside Joshua as one of the two spies who encouraged the Israelites to trust in God's ability to deliver the Promised Land into their hands. The association with Ephrathah ties Caleb to the region around Bethlehem, which holds significant historical and theological importance as the birthplace of King David and, later, Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3612.htm">Kaleb</a> and <a href="/hebrew/672.htm">Ephrath</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the place where Hezron died<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Caleb-ephrathah (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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Caleb-ephrathah <p>From <a href="/hebrew/3612.htm">Kaleb</a> and <a href="/hebrew/672.htm">'Ephraath</a>; Caleb- Ephrathah, a place in Egypt (if the text is correct) -- Caleb-ephrathah. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/3612.htm">Kaleb</a> <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/672.htm">'Ephraath</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>אֶפְרָ֑תָה אפרתה ’ep̄·rā·ṯāh ’ep̄rāṯāh efRatah<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/1_chronicles/2-24.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Chronicles 2:24</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/2.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">חֶצְר֖וֹן בְּכָלֵ֣ב <b> אֶפְרָ֑תָה </b> וְאֵ֤שֶׁת חֶצְרוֹן֙</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/1_chronicles/2.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> of Hezron <span class="itali">in Caleb-ephrathah,</span> Abijah,<br><a href="/kjvs/1_chronicles/2.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> was dead <span class="itali">in Calebephratah,</span> then Abiah<br><a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/2-24.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the death of Hezron <span class="itali">Caleb-ephrathah</span> wife Hezron's<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3613.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3613.htm">Strong's Hebrew 3613<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/efratah_3613.htm">’ep̄·rā·ṯāh — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/3612.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="3612"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="3612" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/3614.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="3614"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="3614" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
