After Yeshua was born in Beit-Lechem in the land of Y'hudah during the time when Herod was king, Magi from the east came to Yerushalayim
2
and asked, "Where is the newborn King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east and have come to worship him."
3
When King Herod heard of this he became very agitated, and so did everyone else in Yerushalayim. He called together all the head cohanim and Torah-teachers
4
of the people and asked them, "Where will the Messiah be born?"
5
"In BeitLechem of Y'hudah," they replied, "because the prophet wrote,
6
`And you, Beit-Lechem in the land of Y'hudah, are by no means the least among the rulers of Y'hudah; for from you will come a Ruler who will shepherd my people Isra'el.'"
