Rabbis on Bethlehem as the Messiah’s Residence Paid Members Public
I quote here Eikhah Rabbah 1:51, The Sefaria Midrash Rabbah, 2022, for the express purpose of showing that even the rabbis acknowledged that Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. What makes this rabbinic source all the more relevant is that it ascribes to the Messiah the following OT passages:
