Jesus was born in "Bethlehem Ephrathah", in the Judean highlands (as prophesied at Micah 5:2), nowadays called Beit Lahm(Bet Lehem) about 5 ½ miles from the Temple Mount.
There were two Bethlehems in existence in Jesus day: -A town in the territory of Zebulun (Joshua 19:10+15) and -The town formerly called Ephrath (Ephrathah) (Genesis 35:19 + 48:7)(Luke 1:26-38; 2:4-7). It was this latter one where Jesus was born (John 7:40-42)(Matthew 2:3-6).

∙ 11y agoThe region where Jesus was born was the Nation of Israel, and the exact town was called Bethlehem also called the City of David because David was born there.
Micah the prophet prophesied that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem Ephrathah and the reason he added the name Ephrathah was so that people would not mistake another town in Galilee by the name of Bethlehem to be the birth place of the Messiah.
Christians refer to the region where Jesus was born as Bethlehem.
