Matthew 2:7 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, determined from them what time the star appeared.

Matthew 2:16 16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men.

EAST

Bethlehem

Gospel in Geography• Matthew 2:1-2

1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the East, and are come to worship him.

Gospel in Geography• Much has been written about the "wise-men

from the east"; it is not necessary to detail here all the conjectures which have been made in answer to this question. "The east" may mean either Arabia, Persia, Chaldea, or Parthia and the provinces adjacent to Palestine. It seems clear from verse two that it was some land not very near Judea.
