Gift of I AM (Matthew) 2

1 Now when Yahweh is Our Salvation (Yeshua) was born in House of Bread (Bethlehem) of Land of Praise (Praised (Judah)ea) in the days of Heroic (Herod) the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Rain of Peace (Jerusalem),

2 Saying: Where is he that is born King of the Praise (Jews)? for we have seen His star in the east, and have come to worship Him.

3 When Heroic (Herod) the king heard these things, he was troubled, and all Rain of Peace (Jerusalem) with him.

4 When he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them the location where Anointed (Messiah, Christ) should be born.

5 And they said to him, In House of Bread (Bethlehem) of Land of Praise (Praised (Judah)ea): for thus it is written by the prophet,

6 You House of Bread (Bethlehem), in the land of Praised (Judah), are not the least among the princes of Praised (Judah): for out of you shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people God Prevails (Israel).

7 Then Heroic (Herod), when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

8 Then he sent them to House of Bread (Bethlehem), and said: Go and search diligently for the young child; and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

11 When they came into the house, they saw the young child with Rebellion (Mary) his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

12 Then they were warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Heroic (Herod), so, they departed into their own country another way.

13 When they departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to I AM Will Add (Joseph) in a dream, saying: Arise, and take the young child and His mother, and flee into Double Straights (Egypt), and stay there until I bring you word: for Heroic (Herod) will seek the young child to destroy Him.

14 So he arose, and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Double Straights (Egypt):

15 And was there until the death of Heroic (Herod): that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying: Out of Double Straights (Egypt) have I called my son.

16 Then Heroic (Herod), when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry. He sent forth, and slew all the children that were in House of Bread (Bethlehem), and in all the surrounding area, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.

17 That fulfilled the prophecy spoken by Whom Jehovah Has Appointed (Jeremiah) the prophet, saying:

18 In The Height (Rama) there was a voice heard, lamentation, weeping, and great mourning, Ewe (Rachel) weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

19 But when Heroic (Herod) was dead, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to I AM Will Add (Joseph) in Double Straights (Egypt),

20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and His mother, and go into the land of God Prevails (Israel): for they are dead which sought the young child's life.

21 So he arose, and took the young child and His mother, and came into the land of God Prevails (Israel).

22 But when he heard that Prince of the People (Archelaus) reigned in Land of Praise (Judaea) in the room of his father Heroic (Herod), he was afraid to go there: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Circuit-District (Galilee):

23 And he came and dwelt in a city called The Guarded One (Nazareth): that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Consecrated One (Nazarene).
