MICAH 5 2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, [though] thou be little among the thousands of Judah, [yet] out of thee shall he come forth unto me [that is] to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth [have been] from of old, from everlasting.3 When Herod the king had heard [these things], he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Fulfillment MATTHEW 2 4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 6 And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Judah, art not the least among the princes of Judah: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Many Jewish sources agree that this prophecy refers to the Messiah who will come forth out of Bethlehem. Some of these sources are as follows: Targum Palestine: "Out of thee Bethlehem shall Messiah go forth before me to exercise dominion over Israel." Targum Jonathan Rabbi David Kimchi: "...out of thee shall come forth unto me a Judge to be Ruler in Israel,and this is the King Messiah."
