Biblical typology
Micah 5:2–3
From Bethlehem
2 And thou Bethlehem Ephrata, art a little one among the thousands of Juda, out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be the ruler in Israel: and his going forth is from the beginning, from the days of eternity.
3 Therefore will he give them up even till the time wherein she that travaileth shall bring forth: and the remnant of his brethren shall be converted to the children of Israel.

Why this matters
Micah speaks of a ruler from Bethlehem and a woman giving birth. Christian tradition relates the ruler to Jesus and the birth to his mother, while the original prophecy addresses Israel’s restoration.
