"And you, Bethlehem Ephrathah: whence David emanated, as it is stated (Shmuel Alef / 1 Sam. 17:58): “The son of your bondsman, Yishai the Bethlehemite.”(this is David)"And Bethlehem is called Ephrath, as it is said (B'reshit / Gen. 48:7): “On the road to Ephrath, that is Bethlehem.” You should have been the lowest of the clans of Judah: You should have been the lowest of the clans of Judah because of the stigma of Ruth the Moabitess in you. From you shall emerge for Me: the Messiah, son of David, and so Scripture says (T'hillim / Psalm 118:22): “The stone the builders had rejected became a cornerstone.” and his origin is from of old: “Before the sun his name will be magnified” (T'hillim / Psalm 72:17).
