Efrat
Beskrywing
Die naam óf van Bethlehem self óf van 'n distrik waarin Bethlehem geleë was. 'n Man van hierdie plek is 'n Efratiet genoem [Rut 1:2 ; 1Sam 17:12 ]. Dit word deur baie gesaghebbendes gehou dat die Efrat waar Ragel begrawe is [Gen 35:16 ; Gen 48:7 ] 'n ander plek was, en die woorde "dieselfde is Bethlehem" 'n gloss is.

Ephratah
fruitful.
(1.) The second wife of Caleb, the son of Hezron, mother of Hur, and grandmother of Caleb, who was one of those that were sent to spy the land (1Chr 2:19; 2:50).
(2.) The ancient name of Bethlehem in Judah (Gen 35:16 ; 35:19; 48:7). In (Ruth 1:2) it is called "Bethlehem-Judah," but the inhabitants are called "Ephrathites;" in (Mic 5:2), "Bethlehem-Ephratah;" in (Matt 2:6 ), "Bethlehem in the land of Judah." In (Ps 132:6 ) it is mentioned as the place where David spent his youth, and where he heard much of the ark, although he never saw it till he found it long afterwards at Kirjath-jearim; i.e., the "city of the wood," or the "forest-town" [(1Sam 7:1 ); comp. (2Sam 6:3 ; 6:4)].
