24 "Seventy weeks are determined
For your people and for your holy city,
To finish the transgression,
To make an end of sins,
To make reconciliation for iniquity,
To bring in everlasting righteousness,
To seal up vision and prophecy,
And to anoint the Most Holy.
NKJV

• "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,

Judah,

• The One to be Ruler in Israel,
• Whose goings forth are from of old,
• From everlasting."
• NKJV
• Eder = "a flock
• Migdal (mig-dawl'); a tower
• Luke 2:8-12
• Now there were in the same country shepherds living out
in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9
And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and
the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were
greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them,"Do not be
afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy
which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you
this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the
Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a
Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger."

Mic 4:8
8 And you, O tower of the flock,
The stronghold of the daughter of Zion,
To you shall it come,
Even the former dominion shall come,
The kingdom of the daughter of
Jerusalem."
• NKJV
Justin Martyr speaks of our Lord's birth as having
taken place "in a certain cave very close to the
village," which cave he goes on to say had been
specially pointed out by Isaiah as "a sign." The
passage from Isaiah to which he refers is 33:1319, in the Sept. version of which occurs the
following: "He shall dwell on high; His place of
defense shall be in a lofty cave of the strong
rock"

• EDAR
• Jerome (who calls it turris Ader) says it lay 1000
paces from Bethlehem (Onomast. s.v.
Bethlehem), and intimates that it contained a
prophetic anticipation (compare Targum of
Pseudo-Jon. in loc.) of the birth of the Messiah
on the same spot (Luke 2:7,8).

• Luke 2:8
• " There was near Bethlehem, on the road to Jerusalem, a tower
known as Migdal Eder , or "the watch-tower of the flock." Here was
the station where shepherds watched the flocks destined for
sacrifice in the temple. Animals straying from Jerusalem on any side,
as far as from Jerusalem to Migdal Eder , were offered in sacrifice. It
was a settled conviction among the Jews that the Messiah was to be
born in Bethlehem, and equally that he was to be revealed from
Migdal Eder . The beautiful significance of the revelation of the infant
Christ to shepherds watching the flocks destined for sacrifice needs
no comment.

Amos 1:11
11 Thus says the LORD:
"For three transgressions of Edom, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because he pursued his brother with the sword,
And cast off all pity; His anger tore perpetually,
And he kept his wrath forever.
Passage Through Edom Refused
• Num 20:14-18
• Now Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of
Edom."Thus says your brother Israel: 'You know all the hardship that
has befallen us, 15 how our fathers went down to Egypt, and we
dwelt in Egypt a long time, and the Egyptians afflicted us and our
fathers. 16 When we cried out to the LORD, He heard our voice and
sent the Angel and brought us up out of Egypt; now here we are in
Kadesh, a city on the edge of your border. 17 Please let us pass
through your country. We will not pass through fields or vineyards,
nor will we drink water from wells; we will go along the King's
Highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left until
we have passed through your territory.'"
• 18 Then Edom said to him, "You shall not pass through my land, lest
I come out against you with the sword."
• 2 Chron 28:17
• 17 For again the Edomites had come, attacked Judah,
and carried away captives.

Ps 137:7
7 Remember, O LORD, against the sons of Edom
The day of Jerusalem,
Who said, "Raze it, raze it,
To its very foundation!"
Chapter 37
• Heb 11:9-10
• 9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise
as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents
with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of
the same promise; 10 for he waited for the
city which has foundations, whose builder
and maker is God.
JOSEPH
• Seventeen years old when sold into Egypt
(Jacob being 108, and Isaac living 12
years afterward), 30 when made governor
(Gen 30:23-24 Gen 37:2 Gen 41:46), 39
before Jacob came into Egypt; so born
1906 BC He is called" son of Jacob's old
age,"
Joseph the Son and the Slave
• His life carried a living symbolic portrait of the person of
the Messiah, His features, redeeming work, and glories.
• Phil 2:5-8
• Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6
who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery
to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no
reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming
in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance
as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to
the point of death, even the death of the cross.
• NKJV
• John 3:16-17
• 16 For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life.
• John 15:13
• 13 Greater love has no one than this, than
to lay down one's life for his friends.
• NKJV
The Colored tunic
• St. Augustine and the scholar Origen;
• The colored tunic is the Church, attached to the Lord Christ, as His
tunic. In His transfiguration, “His clothes became as white as the
light” (Matthew 17: 2), as a reference to the Church, acquired by the
Lord for Himself, and where He dwelt, being the Sun of
righteousness who illuminate it.
• That tunic was refereed to by the apostle Paul, saying of himself,
“Then last of all, he was seen by me also, as by one born out of due
time” (1 Corinthians 15: 7).
• That border of garment was touched by the woman with the flow of
blood (namely, the nations defiled by pagan worship), to get healed
of her ailment. As to being colored, the apostle says: “Now there
are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of
ministries, but the same Lord” (1 Crinthians 12: 4, 5).
• Matt 27:17-18
• 17 Therefore, when they had gathered
together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do
you want me to release to you? Barabbas,
or Jesus who is called Christ?" 18 For he
knew that they had handed Him over
because of envy.
• NKJV
• Father Caesarius, Bishop of Arles:
• [Jacob sent his son to proclaim his worry for their safety;
and God the Father sent His Only-begotten Son, to visit
mankind, who were weak with sin, a lost flock.
• As Joseph sought his brothers, he wandered in the
wilderness; and the Lord Christ, as He sought mankind,
He wandered in the world ...
• Joseph sought his brothers in Shechem, that means
(shoulder); as the sinners gave their backs to the
Righteous, and put their shoulders backwards].
• Father Bemon:
• [Joseph, their brother, was incapable of decreasing
sharpness of envy of his eleven brothers, who sought his
death, although he did them no harm. It is obvious that
• envy is one of the worst of sins, and most difficult to
cure; it flares up by the same medications that can
combat other sins ...
• What can you do to somebody who increases in
transgression, the more your mercy and humility get. He
gets envious, not out of greed for some bribe he could
have, or some favor he could gain, but because of the
success and happiness of others].
• Father Caeserius says:
• {Joseph found his brothers in ‘Dothan’, meaning (rebellion); as those
who wished to kill their brother, were truly in a great rebellion....,
When they saw Joseph, they discussed his death; like what the
Jews did to the true Joseph, the Lord Christ, as they all had one
decision: to crucify Him.... Joseph’s brothers stripped him of his
colored tunic; and the Jews stripped Jesus of his clothes before
crucifying Him..... Joseph, stripped of his tunic, he was
• cast into a pit; and Christ, whose body was mutilated, descended
into Hades....
• Joseph was pulled up and lifted out of the pit, and sold to the
Ishmaelites (namely to the Gentiles); and Christ, coming back from
Hades, was bought by the Gentiles for the price of faith]. So Joseph
• was a symbol of the Lord Christ: conspired against, cast into a pit,
stripped of his tunic, and sold to the Gentiles

Song 1:7
Tell me, O you whom I love,
Where you feed your flock,
Where you make it rest at noon.
• John 11:49-54
• 49 And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that
year, said to them, "You know nothing at all, 50 nor do
you consider that it is expedient for us that one man
should die for the people, and not that the whole nation
should perish." 51 Now this he did not say on his own
authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied
that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and not for that
nation only, but also that He would gather together in
one the children of God who were scattered abroad.
• 53 Then, from that day on, they plotted to put Him to
death.
• Gen 42:20-21
• 21 Then they said to one another,"We are
truly guilty concerning our brother, for we
saw the anguish of his soul when he
pleaded with us, and we would not hear;
therefore this distress has come upon us."
• NKJV
