Bethlehem or not Bethlehem, that is the question

the word Lachma or Lakhma in Arabic means dumb or confused (لخمة)

The word Lahm or La7m in Arabic means meat (لحم)

The word Lachma in hebrew means food - bread

The word Bethlehem - in Arabic means the house of sustinance or the house of Meat

The word of Bethlehem in Hebrew means the house of bread.

Whatever the name is - what is your point? - the reason for the diffirence is that the Jews read the 'h - kh (ح becomes خ) so they are confused now which is the right word.

Berthlehem means the house of sustenance (the house of meat) but the Jews changed it to Lkhma (the house of bread) - even in english it is lehem as the Arabic pronuciation

The whole of Palestine from the sea to the river and the Golans to the Negev are a Palestinian land and will return to Palestinians whether you like it or your masters like it or not. this is a promise given to us by God.
