The Scriptures 1998

Luke 2:14-24 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

14. “Esteem to Elohim in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased!”

15. And it came to be, when the messengers had gone away from them into the heaven, that the shepherds said to each other, “Indeed, let us go to Bĕyth Leḥem and see this matter that has taken place, which the Master has made known to us.”

16. And they came in haste and found Miryam and Yosĕph, and the baby lying in a feeding trough.

17. And having seen, they made known the matter which was spoken to them concerning the child.

18. And all those who heard marvelled at what the shepherds said to them.

19. But Miryam kept all these matters, considering them in her heart.

20. And the shepherds returned, boasting and praising Elohim for all they had heard and seen, as it was spoken to them.

21. And when eight days were completed for Him to be circumcised, His Name was called יהושע, the Name given by the messenger before He was conceived in the womb.

22. And when the days of her cleansing according to the Torah of Mosheh were completed, they brought Him to Yerushalayim to present Him to יהוה –

23. as it has been written in the Torah of יהוה, “Every male who opens the womb shall be called set-apart to יהוה” –

24. and to give an offering according to what is said in the Torah of יהוה, “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
