**בְּאֶפְרָתָה.** בְּמָקוֹם הֶחָשׁוּב וְהַמְעֻלֶּה, כְּמוֹ (שמואל א א:א) ״בֶּן תֹּחוּ בֶן צוּף אֶפְרָתִי״ – חָשׁוּב, אַבְגִינוֹס. דָּבָר אַחֵר: **שְׁמַעֲנוּהָ בְאֶפְרָתָה** בְּסֵפֶר יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (יהושע טו) שֶׁבָּא מֵאֶפְרַיִם, בְּכָל הַתְּחוּמִין הוּא אוֹמֵר (יהושע טו:ו-יח) ״וְעָלָה הַגְּבוּל״ ״וְתָאַר הַגְּבוּל״, וְכָאן הוּא אוֹמֵר (יהושע טו:ח) ״וְעָלָה הַגְּבוּל אֶל כֶּתֶף הַיְבוּסִי יְרוּשָׁלִָם״. נִמְצֵאת יְרוּשָׁלִַם גָּבוֹהַּ מִכָּל הָאֲרָצוֹת, וְהוּא רָאוּי לְבֵית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (דברים יז:ח) ״וְקַמְתָּ וְעָלִיתָ אֶל הַמָּקוֹם וְגוֹ׳״, מְלַמֵּד שֶׁבֵּית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ גָּבוֹהַּ מִכָּל אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל. כָּךְ נִדְרַשׁ בִּשְׁחִיטַת קָדָשִׁים (זבחים נד:):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**in Ephrath** In the most esteemed and superior place, like (I Sam. 1:1): “the son of Toku, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite,” an important person, a palace dweller. Another explanation: **We heard it in Ephrath** In the Book of Joshua (ch. 15), who came from Ephraim. In all the boundaries he says, “And the border went up...and the border circled,” but here he says, “And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnon... Jerusalem.” Jerusalem is [therefore] found to be higher than all the lands, and it is fit for the Temple, as it is said (Deut. 17:8): “and you shall arise and ascend to the place, etc.” This teaches [us] that the Temple is higher than the whole land of Israel. So it is expounded upon in tractate Zevahim (54b).

**we found it in the fields of the forest** In the boundary of Benjamin, who was likened to a beast of the forest, as it is said (Gen. 49:27): “Benjamin is a devouring wolf.”
