July 4, 2013 – 1 Chronicles 4 – 4:27

We see someone name Bethlehem in this line.  I wonder if that person was the person that started the town of Bethlehem and the city was named after them.  That made me wonder what connection did Joseph have with Bethlehem.  It says that he had to go to his family’s place to register for the census and that is why they traveled to Bethlehem, but I never have really known where that family connection was.  But we do see that this Bethlehem is a descendant of Judah, which Jesus is, that may shed light on that connection.
