<p> (Hebrews E'der, עֵדֶר , | <p> (Hebrews E'der, '''''עֵדֶר''''' '', Flock,'' as often rendered), the name of a tower ( '''''מַגְדָּל''''' ), beyond ( '''''מֵהָלְאָה''''' ) which Jacob first halted between Bethlehem and [[Hebron]] ( Genesis 35:21, Sept. '''''Γαδέρ''''' , Vat. omits, Vulg. ''Eder).'' In Micah 4:8 (Sept., Vulg., and A.V. translate '''''Ποιμνίον''''' , grex, "flock") it is put for the neighboring village Bethlehem itself, and hence tropically for the royal line of David as sprung thence. It perhaps derived its name from the fact of having been erected to guard, (See [[Migdol]])., flocks, or else from some individual of the name of Eder (q.v.). [[Jerome]] (who calls it ''Turris Ader)'' says it lay 1000 paces from Bethlehem ''(Onomast.'' s.v. Bethlehem), and intimates that it contained a prophetic anticipation (compare [[Targum]] of Pseudo-Jon. in loc.) of the birth of the [[Messiah]] on the same spot ( Luke 2:7-8). (See Albert, ''De [[Turri]] Eder,'' Lips. 1689.) (See [[Bethlehem]]). </p> | ||
