{"product_id":"bethlehem-an-advent-journey","title":"Bethlehem An Advent Journey","description":"Bethlehem.\u003cbr\u003eThe name itself is shrouded in mystery. No one seems to be sure what it actually means. It may come from the Canaanite \u003cem\u003eBeit Lamhi, \u003c\/em\u003e \"House of Lahmi,\" referring to one of the ancient local gods of that region. It also might mean \u003cem\u003eBeit Lechem\u003c\/em\u003e, which means \"House of Bread.\" But its rolling hills seem less suited for grain than for grazing. So its Arabic name \u003cem\u003eBeit Lahm\u003c\/em\u003e, \"House of Meat,\" might be more fitting. It also may be related to the Aramaic language that Jesus spoke, \u003cem\u003eBeit Lamra\u003c\/em\u003e, \"House of Lamb,\" which makes sense if there were indeed shepherds keeping watch over their flocks there, as the scripture says in Luke 2.[1] So which is it? House of Bread, or House of Meat, or House of Lamb? We don't really know.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e[1] Blincoe, \u003cem\u003eBethlehem\u003c\/em\u003e, 6-8.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David W Graybeal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46337788870892,"sku":"9798895320167","price":22.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9798895320167.jpg?v=1743719150","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/bethlehem-an-advent-journey","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
