Which region contains both Jerusalem and Bethlehem?

• A. Galilee.
• B. Judea.
• C. Samaria.
• D. Moab.

Answer: (B)

Both Jerusalem and Bethlehem sit in the hill country of Judea, the southern region around Judah in ancient Israel. Bethlehem is just south of Jerusalem, about five miles away, and lies within the territory traditionally allocated to the tribe of Judah. In contrast, Galilee is in the north, Samaria sits in the central area between the two, and Moab lies east of the Jordan River, so Judea is the region that contains both cities.
