Micah 5

The Places in the Holy Land Bible Crossword

15×15 grid · Medium · Ends on Micah 5:2

A puzzle made entirely of place names, which is a particular pleasure in a crossword: Bethlehem, little among the thousands of Judah; Nazareth, of which nothing good was expected; Jerusalem, Olivet, Bethany, Capernaum, Emmaus. Places in the Holy Land maps the whole story geographically instead of chronologically.

It's a good puzzle for anyone who has read the Gospels often but never quite fixed where things happened. The closing verse is Micah's prophecy of the town where it all begins.

“But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.”
