will give to you and to your descendants. Your descendants will be as

and to the east, to the north and to the south. By you and your
descendants all the families of the earth will be blessed."

Emperor Augustus issued an order for a census to be taken throughout the
Empire. 2 This registration, the first of its kind, took place
when Quirinius was governing in Syria. 3 Everyone went to be

Ruach HaKodesh." Matthew 1:18
" In the sixth month, the
angel Gavri'el was sent by God to a city in the Galil called Natzeret, 27 to
a virgin engaged to a man named Yosef, of the house of David; the virgin's
name was Miryam. 28 Approaching her, the angel said,
"Shalom, favored lady! ADONAI is with you!" 29 She
was deeply troubled by his words and wondered what kind of greeting this
might be. 30 The angel said to her, "Don't be afraid,
Miryam, for you have found favor with God. 31 Look! You will
become pregnant, you will give birth to a son, and you are to name him
Yeshua. 32 He will be great, he will be called Son of Ha`Elyon.
ADONAI, God, will give him the throne of his forefather David; 33 and
he will rule the House of Ya`akov forever -- there will be no end to his
Kingdom."

" Meanwhile, when
Herod realized that the Magi had tricked him, he was furious and gave
orders to kill all the boys in and around Beit-Lechem who were two years
old or less, calculating from the time the Magi had told him. In this way
were fulfilled the words spoken through the prophet Yirmeyahu, "A
voice was heard in Ramah, sobbing and lamenting loudly. It was Rachel
sobbing for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no
longer alive."
