¹ Now when Yeshua was born in Beit-Lechem of Yehudah in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Yerushalayim, saying, ² "Where is he who is born King of the Yehudim? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him." ³ When Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Yerushalayim with him. ⁴ Gathering together all the chief Kohanim and Sofrim of the people, he asked them where the Messiah would be born. ⁵ They said to him, "In Beit-Lechem of Yehudah, for thus it is written through the prophet, ⁶ 'You Beit-Lechem, land of Yehudah, Are in no way least among the princes of Yehudah: For out of you shall come forth a governor, Who shall shepherd my people, Yisra'el.'" ⁷ Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared. ⁸ He sent them to Beit-Lechem, and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him."

⁹ They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was. ¹⁰ When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. ¹¹ They came into the house and saw the young child with Miryam, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. ¹² Being warned in a dream that they shouldn't return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.

¹³ Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Yosef in a dream, saying, "Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Mitzrayim, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him." ¹⁴ He arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Mitzrayim, ¹⁵ and was there until the death of Herod; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, "Out of Mitzrayim I called my son."

¹⁶ Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out, and killed all the male children who were in Beit-Lechem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men. ¹⁷ Then that which was spoken by Yirmeyahu the prophet was fulfilled, saying, ¹⁸ "A voice was heard in Ramah, Lamentation, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; She wouldn't be comforted, Because they are no more."

¹⁹ But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Yosef in Mitzrayim, saying, ²⁰ "Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into Eretz-Yisra'el, for those who sought the young child's life are dead." ²¹ He arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into Eretz-Yisra'el. ²² But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Yehudah in the place of his father, Herod, he was afraid to go there. Being warned in a dream, he withdrew into the region of the Galil, ²³ and came and lived in a city called Natzeret; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets: "He will be called a Natzri."
