Bethphage

So called from its producing figs, a small village situated in Mount Olivet, and, as it seems, somewhat nearer Jerusalem than Bethany. Jesus being come from Bethany to Bethphage, commanded his disciples to seek out an ass for him that he might ride, in his triumphant entrance into Jerusalem, Matt. Bethphage is rendered in the installed Bible Names resource as “house of my month, or of early figs.” This unified study connects 7 installed resource categories without replacing their source records.
