Micah 5:2-NLT
But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, are only a small village
among all the people of Judah. Yet a ruler of Israel will come
from you, One whose origins are from the distant past.
Ephrathah – ef-raw’-thaw- It means – “a place of fruitfulness.” It also
means – Israelitish woman. It was another name for Bethlehem.
The name Bethlehem means – “House of Bread.”
John 6:33-NLT
33 The true bread of God is the One who comes down
from heaven and gives life to the world.”
Luke 2:7-CJB
… and she gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him in cloth
and laid him down in a feeding trough, because there was no space for
them in the living-quarters.
