Matthew 2:7New Messianic Version BibleThen King Herod [heroic] called the Astronomers in secret and asked them thoroughly concerning the time the star appeared to them. See the chapter |
I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not near: there shall come a Star out of Ya’akov [Heal of God], and a Sceptre shall rise out of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and shall strike the corners of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], and destroy all the children of Shet [Compensation].
Then Herod [heroic] saw that the Astronomers had outwitted him and was very displeased. Being grieved at heart, he commanded that word be sent to all his princes to kill all the male children who were in Beit-Lechem [house of bread] and its borders who had been born from the time when the star appeared, which he had determined when the Astronomers spoke to him concerning the birth of the Boy.
