Micah 5:2

But you, Bethlehem, Ephrathah,
you are so small (insignificant) among the clans of Judah (thousands)
[groups of a thousand people into which Israel was divided].
From you shall come
one who will rule in Israel.
His origin is from before time,
from the days of eternity.
[There are two Bethlehems in Israel, one in the land of Zebulun in the north, and one in the south just outside Jerusalem in the region of Ephrathah. The prophetic prov is so perfect that 700 years before it happens, it predicts that Jesus will be born in the southern village of Bethlehem, which was so insignificant that it was not included in Josh. 15's list of cities, see Josh. 15:33–60.]
