Belén — 'casa de pan' en hebreo — es el lugar de nacimiento tanto del Rey David como de Jesucristo. El profeta Miqueas predijo más de 700 años antes que el gobernante de Israel nacería en Belén (Miqueas 5:2), una profecía cumplida cuando María y José viajaron allí para el censo.
Historical Context
Belén Efrata se encuentra a unos 10 kilómetros al sur de Jerusalén en las colinas de Judea. La ciudad era una de las ciudades menores de Judá pero adquirió una importancia bíblica desproporcionada a través de su asociación con el linaje de David y el nacimiento de Jesús. La Iglesia de la Natividad, construida sobre el sitio tradicional del nacimiento de Jesús, existe desde el siglo IV.

Bible Verses About Belén
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth–lehem–judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
But thou, Beth–lehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
