1_ Bethlehem is the name of a city in the West Bank (State of Palestine), which has great religious significance for Judaism, Christianity and Islam, as it is considered the birthplace of Jesus and King David. The origin dates back to about 3000 years, when according to biblical tradition it was built by the king of Judah Rehoboam. The name has different interpretations, in principle it is supposed to be a tribute to the Chaldean god of fertility Lahmo, who was adopted by the Canaanites who baptized their fortification as Beth Lehem ("the house of Lahmo"); but later it lost its pagan etymology and was reinterpreted in Hebrew as 1489; 1497; 1514; 1500; 1495; 1501; ( bet lejem "house of bread" ) or in Arabic as 1576; 1610; 1578; 1604; 1581; 1605; ( bait lajm "house of the flesh") . Greek, Latin and later Spanish simply transliterated it. See Jerusalem . 2º_ Name of several cities and municipalities, in most cases as a tribute to the previous one. 3º_ Representation of the manger where Jesus Christ was born. By extension and poetically, any stable. 4º_ Complication, disorder. It's probably an understatement. 5º_ Common name for the balsamine plant. 6º_ As with many religious words, Bethlehem is also used as a personal name, usually feminine.
