Places
Bethlehem in Genesis 35
BETH-leh-hem
This place shows up in Genesis 35:19: “Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem).” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 35:19
“Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem).”
