What Does Joshua 19:15 Mean?
The towns within Zebulun's borders are listed and numbered at twelve, each with its villages. Among them is a Bethlehem in the north, distinct from the better-known Bethlehem of Judah.
The recurrence of such a name is a quiet reminder of how God works through small and overlooked places. A town named here shares its name with the place where the Savior would be born. Out of little towns God brings great things.
