Tribal Associations of the Names: Iowa
Bethel, = Ephraim
Bethlehem, =Judah, Ephraim
Egypt, = Place of Exile of all Israel
before the Exodus but also associated
with Joseph. The name "Goshen" (inn
Egypt) is quite popular in the USA. We
also noticed "Zoar" (a place in Goshen)
in Indiana. Joseph was responsible
for the settlement in Goshen. Maybe
we should link Goshen with Joseph
instead of with the whole of Israel?
