Bethlehem of Judea: Since there was another Bethlehem, in the territory of Zebulun (Jos 19:10, 15), the town in Judah (Judea) was often referred to as “Bethlehem in Judah” (Jg 17:7-9; 19:1, 2, 18). The earlier name of this town was evidently Ephrath, or Ephrathah, explaining why Mic 5:2 says that the Messiah would come from “Bethlehem Ephrathah.”—Ge 35:19; 48:7.
Herod: Refers to Herod the Great.—See Glossary.
astrologers: Greek maʹgoi (plural of maʹgos), most likely referring to experts in astrology and other occult practices condemned in the Holy Scriptures. (De 18:10-12) The Bible does not indicate the number. The same Greek term is rendered “sorcerer” at Ac 13:6, 8 and is used in the Septuagint as an equivalent for the Hebrew and Aramaic words rendered “conjurer” at Da 2:2, 10.
