Strong's Lexicon Ephrathi: Ephrathite Original Word: אֶפְרָתִי Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: Ephrathiy Pronunciation: ef-raw-thee Phonetic Spelling: (ef-rawth-ee') Definition: Ephrathite Meaning: an Ephrathite, an Ephraimite Word Origin: Derived from אֶפְרָת (Ephrath), which is a place name and also a personal name. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2180 (Ἐφραθαῖος, Ephrathaios) - used in the Septuagint and New Testament to refer to someone from Ephrath or Bethlehem. Usage: The term "Ephrathi" is used to denote someone from Ephrath, which is often associated with Bethlehem in Judah. It can refer to an inhabitant of Ephrath or someone belonging to the tribe of Ephraim, depending on the context. The term is used to identify lineage or geographical origin. Cultural and Historical Background: Ephrath, often equated with Bethlehem, holds significant historical and theological importance in the Bible. It is the birthplace of King David and later, according to Christian tradition, of Jesus Christ. The term "Ephrathite" thus carries connotations of royal lineage and messianic prophecy. In the context of the tribe of Ephraim, it denotes a connection to one of the prominent tribes of Israel, known for its leadership and military prowess.
