It is, perhaps, impossible to come to any certainty on thesubject. In Genesis, or perhaps in Chronicles, the name is calledEphrath or Ephrata; in Ruth, Bethlehem Jitdah, but theinhabitants, Ephrathites; in Micah, Bethlehem Ephratah ;in St. Matt, ii, 6, Bethlehem in the la^id of Jjidah.

In Psalms cxxxii, 6, we have Ephratah, mean-ing perhaps Ephraim. ] * = Smiths Dictionary of Itie Bible, London, SPECIMEN OF ORNAMENTAL PEN-WORK FROM THE SISTERS MS. HYMNAL.
