+Despite [[Israel]], in 1995, for peace efforts, has given it to Arafat, Bethlehem has of course a long attachment to biblical truth and to the [[Jewish]] people. It is referred to 30 times in the Old Testament and eight times in the New. Scripture sometimes calls the town Bethlehem Ephrathah or Bethlehem of Judea to distinguish it from another Bethlehem located in the north, within the tribe of Zebulun (Josh. 19:15–16).
 Bethlehem is first referenced at the death of Rachel,  wife of Jacob [later called Israel], who died giving birth to Benjamin: “So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem)” (Gen. 35:19). As a result, Jewish people regard Bethlehem as a holy place—especially for barren women who go to Rachel’s Tomb to pray for children.
