A Star out of Jacob
The camp of Israel at dusk, a star rising over the tents, and the seer on the height who saw it from far off. Scroll to watch it.
How lovely are thy habitations O Jacob, thy tabernacles O Israel, as shadowing gardens, and as parks by the rivers, and as tabernacles which the Lord hath fixed, as cedars by the waters.
Numbers 24:5-6, as St Athanasius gives it
There shall rise a star out of Jacob, and a man out of Israel, and he shall break in pieces the captains of Moab.
Numbers 24:17, as St Athanasius gives it
But Matthew says that the Magi, coming from the east, exclaimed “For we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him;” and that, having been led by the star into the house of Jacob to Emmanuel, they showed, by these gifts which they offered, who it was that was worshipped
