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 ,
*
saying , "
Where is he that is born Melech HaYehudim ?
For we have seen his KOCHAV (
note :)"
star ,"

in the Mizrach East and have come to fall down before him ."
*
Because Herod the king heard this ,
he was terribly shaken ,
and all Yerushalayim with him .
*
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 .
*
They told him , "
In Beit-Lechem Yehudah ;
because so it stands written by the Navi :
* `
And YOU ,
BEIT-LECHEM ,(
note :)"
Bethlehem ,"

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 .`"
*
Then Herod secretly summoned the chachamim and ascertained from them the exact date of the manifestation of the KOCHAV .
*
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 . "
*
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 .
*
When they saw the KOCHAV ,
they rejoiced with exceedingly great nachas (
note :)
joy (:
note ).
*
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 .
*
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 .
