A Christmas Poem by the Angel of the Lord – Matthew 1:20-23

20...“Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid {“Afraid, Fearful” (ירא) Yare}

to take Mary your wife. For that which is conceived {“Conceiving” (הרה) Hareh}

in her is from the Holy Spirit {“Spirit” (רוח) Ruach}.

21 And she will give birth to a son,

and you shall call his name Jesus {“Jesus” (ישוע) Yashua or Yeshua},

for he will save {“Save” (יושיע) Yosheya}

his people {“People” (עמי) Ammo}

from their sins {“Sins” (עוֹנֹתָֽם) Avontum}.”

22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

23 “Behold, the virgin {“Behold, a Virgin” (הָעַלְמָ֗ה הִנֵּ֣ה) Hinneh Halmah}

shall be with child and bear a son,

and they shall call his name Immanuel {“Emmanuel” (עמנואל) Ammanuel},”

which means, “God with us {“God With Us” (אל עמנו) Ammanu El}.”
