Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G965: Βηθλεέμ (Bethlehem) • The Greek equivalent for Bethlehem, used in the New Testament to refer to the town of Bethlehem, particularly in the context of the nativity of Jesus Christ (e.g., Matthew 2:1, Luke 2:4).

Usage: The term is used to denote individuals who are from Bethlehem, a significant town in the biblical narrative, particularly in the context of the lineage of King David and the birthplace of Jesus Christ.

Context: The term בֵּית הלּחְמִי (Beth-hallachmi) refers to a person from Bethlehem, a town located in the territory of Judah. Bethlehem holds a prominent place in biblical history as the birthplace of King David, Israel's second king, and is later recognized as the birthplace of Jesus Christ, fulfilling the prophecy of Micah 5:2. The town is first mentioned in the context of Rachel's death and burial (Genesis 35:19). It is also the setting for the story of Ruth and Boaz, which establishes the Davidic lineage. The term "Beth-lechemite" is used to identify individuals associated with this town, emphasizing their connection to its rich historical and theological significance. In 1 Samuel 16:1, God instructs Samuel to anoint David, a Beth-lechemite, as king, highlighting Bethlehem's role in the divine plan for Israel. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) reflects this usage in its translation, maintaining the historical and cultural context of the term.
