Original Note:
The name Bethlehem’s origin is not believed to be Hebrew, but pagan Canaanite. First appearing in the Tel Amarna letters (dated to 1400 BC), the name Bethlehem is derived from “Beit Lahmu” meaning house or temple of Lahmu, a Canaanite/Mesopotamian/Chaldean deity. https://www.bethlehem-city.org/archive-content-1441 https://cbnisrael.org/2022/12/20/biblical-israel-bethlehem-2/ https://www.etymonline.com/word/Bethlehem
