orthjbc@Matthew:2:1 @ Now after Yehoshua was born in Beit-Lechem Yehudah, in the days of Herod [the Great, the Roman "client"] king --hinei!-- chachamim (note:)wise men(:note) from eretz Mizrach the land of the East arrived in Yerushalayim,

orthjbc@Matthew:2:2 @ saying, "Where is he that is born Melech HaYehudim? For we have seen his KOCHAV (note:)"star," BAMIDBAR strkjv@24:17(:note) in the Mizrach East and have come to fall down before him."

orthjbc@Matthew:2:3 @ Because Herod the king heard this, he was terribly shaken, and all Yerushalayim with him.

orthjbc@Matthew:2:4 @ And assemblying all the Rashei Hakohanim (note:)Chief Priests(:note) and Sofrim Scribes, Torah-teachers, Rabbonim of the people, he inquired of them the place where Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was to be born.

orthjbc@Matthew:2:5 @ They told him, "In Beit-Lechem Yehudah; because so it stands written by the Navi:

orthjbc@Matthew:2:6 @ `And YOU, BEIT-LECHEM,(note:)"Bethlehem," MICHOH strkjv@5:1[2](:note) in eretz Yehudah, are by no means least among the shtetlach towns or ruling [clans] of Yehudah; because out of you will come a Moshel Governor who will be the Ro'eh Ami Yisroel Shepherd of my people Israel.`"

orthjbc@Matthew:2:7 @ Then Herod secretly summoned the chachamim and ascertained from them the exact date of the manifestation of the KOCHAV.

orthjbc@Matthew:2:8 @ Then he sent them to Beth-Lechem, saying, "Go and make a thorough search for the yeled (note:)child(:note); and as soon as you have found him, report to me, so that I, as well as you, may come and fall down before him. "

orthjbc@Matthew:2:9 @ After they heard the king, they departed, and--hinei!--the KOCHAV they had seen in the Mizrach (note:)East(:note) was going ahead of them til it came and stood above the place where the yeled was.

orthjbc@Matthew:2:10 @ When they saw the KOCHAV, they rejoiced with exceedingly great nachas (note:)joy(:note).

orthjbc@Matthew:2:11 @ And, entering the bais (note:)house(:note), they beheld the yeled with Miryam his Em, and prostrated themselves before him. Then, opening their treasure chests, they offered gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

orthjbc@Matthew:2:12 @ And having been warned in a cholom (note:)dream(:note) not to return to Herod, they took refuge in their own country by another way. MOSHIACH IN EGYPT

orthjbc@Matthew:2:13 @ And when they'd gone, hinei, a malach Hashem appeared to Yosef Ben Dovid in a cholom (note:)dream(:note), saying, "Arise, and take the yeled and his Em, and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod is about to seek the yeled to destroy him."

orthjbc@Matthew:2:14 @ So, having got up, he took the yeled, and his Em by night and departed for Mitzrayim (note:)Egypt(:note).

orthjbc@Matthew:2:15 @ And he was there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by Hashem through the Navi, UMIMITZRAYIM KARATI LIVNI (note:)"Out of Egypt have I called my Son," HOSHEA strkjv@11:1(:note). FIRST CENTURY SHOAH OF THE INNOCENTS

orthjbc@Matthew:2:16 @ When Herod saw that he had been outwitted by the chachamim, he was greatly enraged, and he ordered the slaughter of all the yeladim in Beit-Lechem and its vicinity who were two years old or under, in accordance with the time that he had learned from the chachamim.

orthjbc@Matthew:2:17 @ Then came the fulfillment of what was spoken through Yirmeyah HaNavi:

orthjbc@Matthew:2:18 @ KOL B'RAMAH NISHMAH (note:)"A voice was heard in Ramah," YIRMEYAH strkjv@31:14[15](:note), "a voice of bitter weeping and mourning. Rachel is crying for her yeladim; she refuses to be comforted, because they are no more." THE EXODUS OF MOSHIACH FROM EGYPT AND HIS RETURN TO A FIRST CENTURY "SHTETL"

orthjbc@Matthew:2:19 @ When Herod died--hinei!--in Mitzrayim (note:)Egypt(:note) a malach Hashem appeared to Yosef in a cholom dream,

orthjbc@Matthew:2:20 @ saying, "Arise, and take the yeled and his Em and go to Eretz-Yisroel, for those seeking the life of the yeled are dead."

orthjbc@Matthew:2:21 @ And Yosef arose and took the yeled and his Em, and entered Eretz-Yisroel.

orthjbc@Matthew:2:22 @ And when Yosef heard that Archelaus had succeeded his father Herod as king of Yehudah, Yosef was afraid to go there. And, having been warned in a cholom, he departed into the districts of the Galil.

orthjbc@Matthew:2:23 @ And Yosef made his home in the shtetl (note:)Jewish community, village(:note) called Natzeret, so that that which was spoken by the Neviim might be fulfilled, "He will be called a Natzri." *
