Places
Bethlehem in Joshua 19
BETH-leh-hem
This place shows up in Joshua 19:15: “Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Joshua 19:15
“Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.”
What kids can learn
