bethlehem has 3 distinct synonyms spread across 1 of its 2 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. WordNet records no antonym for it — antonymy is a relation between word forms rather than concepts, so it is deliberately sparse.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
a town in eastern Pennsylvania on the Lehigh River to the northwest of Philadelphia; an important center for steel production
a small town near Jerusalem on the West Bank of the Jordan River; early home of David and regarded as the place where Jesus was born
