ephratah And all the people that [were] in the gate, and the elders, said, [We are] witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in {Ep hratah}, and be famous in Bethlehem: ephratah <1CH2 -50> These were the sons of Caleb the son of Hur, the firstborn of {Ephratah}; Shobal the father of Kirjathjearim, ephratah <1CH4 -4> And Penuel the father of Gedor, and Ezer the father of Hushah. These [are] the sons of Hur, the firstborn of {Ephratah}, the father of Bethlehem. ephratah Lo, we heard of it at {Ephratah}: we found it in the fields of the wood. ephratah But thou, Bethlehem {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. ~~~~~~
