6. ‘But you, Bĕyth Leḥem, in the land of Yehuḏah, you are by no means least among the rulers of Yehuḏah, for out of you shall come a Ruler who shall shepherd My people Yisra’ĕl.’ ”
7. Then Herodes, having called the Magi secretly, learned exactly from them what time the star appeared.
8. And having sent them to Bĕyth Leḥem, he said, “Go and search diligently for the Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, so that I too might go and do reverence to Him.”
9. And having heard the sovereign, they went. And see, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, until it came and stood over where the Child was.
