Mattityahu 2:4-8

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁴ And assembling all the Rashei Hakohanim and Sofrim of the people, he inquired of them the place where Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was to be born.

⁵ They told him, In Beit-Lechem Yehudah; because so it stands written by the Navi:

⁶ And YOU, BEIT-LECHEM, (Bethlehem, Mic 5:1[2]) in eretz Yehudah are by no means least among the shtetlach (towns) or ruling [alafim] of Yehudah; because out of you will come a Moshel (Ruler) who will be the Ro’eh Ami Yisroel.

⁷ Then Herod secretly summoned the chachamim and ascertained from them the exact date of the manifestation of the KOCHAV.

⁸ Then he sent them to Beth-Lechem, saying, Go and make a thorough search for the yeled (child); as soon as you have found him, report to me, so that I, as you, may come and fall down before him.
