| 释义 |
Biblical placeThe first mention of Ephrath occurs in Genesis,[2] in reference to the place where Rachel died giving birth to Benjamin and where she was buried on the road from Bethel. A very old tradition is that Ephrath refers to Bethlehem,[3] and thus that she died on the way there, reflected by the ancient Tomb of Rachel at the city's entrance. Some modern scholars have placed this location closer to Bethel, in the vicinity of Ramallah, based on verses in Samuel I [4] and Jeremiah.[5] A prime candidate according to this view is a site known in Arabic as "kubur beni israil" ("burial of the Children of Israel"), and is adjacent to the "Farah" wadi, whose name recalls "Ephrath".[6] Throughout much of the Bible, Ephrath is a description for members of the Israelite tribe of Judah, as well as for the possible founders of Bethlehem.[7] Personal nameCaleb's second wife [8] was called Ephrath (or Ephrathah).
