Efrata
Penerangan
Nama sama ada Bethlehem itu sendiri atau daerah di mana Bethlehem terletak. Seorang lelaki dari tempat ini dipanggil seorang Efratit ([Rut 1:2 ; 1Sam 17:12 ]). Ia dipegang oleh banyak pihak berkuasa bahawa Efrat di mana Rahel dikebumikan ([Kej 35:16 ; Kej 48:7 ]) adalah tempat yang berbeza, kata-kata "yang sama adalah Bethlehem" menjadi glos.
