Betlemme — 'casa del pane' in ebraico — è il luogo di nascita sia del Re Davide che di Gesù Cristo. Il profeta Michea predisse più di 700 anni prima che il governante d'Israele sarebbe nato a Betlemme (Michea 5:2), una profezia compiuta quando Maria e Giuseppe vi si recarono per il censimento.
Historical Context
Betlemme Efrata si trova a circa 10 chilometri a sud di Gerusalemme nelle colline della Giudea. La città era una delle città minori di Giuda ma acquisì un'importanza biblica sproporzionata attraverso la sua associazione con la stirpe di Davide e la natività di Gesù. La Chiesa della Natività , costruita sul sito tradizionale della nascita di Gesù, esiste dal IV secolo.

Bible Verses About Betlemme
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.
