Genesis 48:7New Messianic Version BibleAnd as for me, when I came from Paddan (a plain; a field), Rachel (ewe) died by me in the land of Kena’an (merchant; trader; or that humbles and subdues) in the way, when yet [there was] but a little way to come unto Efrat (ash-heap: place of fruitfulness): and I buried her there in the way of Efrat; the same [is] Beit-Lechem (House of Bread emphasizing: House of Battle). See the chapter |
But youi, Beit-Lechem [House of Bread] Ephrat [ash-heap: place of fruitfulness], [though] youi be little among the thousands of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], [yet] out of youi shall he come forth unto me [that is] to be ruler in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; whose goings forth [have been] from of old, from everlasting.
When youi are departed from me today, then youi shall find two men by Rachel’s [ewe] sepulcher in the border of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] at Tzeltzah [shadow]; and they will say unto youi, The asses which youi went to seek are found: and, lo, youi father has left the care of the asses, and sorrows for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
Now there was a certain man of Ramatayim-Tzofim [double height of the watchers], of mount Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], and his name [was] Elkanah [God Has Taken Possession], the son of Yerocham [showing pity], the son of Elihu [He is my God], the son of Tochu [lowly], the son of Tzuf [honeycomb], an Efrat [ashiness: fruitfulness]:
And the name of the man [was] Eli-Melekh [my God is king], and the name of his wife Na’omi [my delight], and the name of his two sons Machlon [sick] and Kilyon [pining], Efratim [ashiness: fruitfulness] from Beit-Lechem [House of Bread] in Y’hudah. And they came into the country of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], and settled there.
