2:16 The killing of the children

16When King Herod realised that he had been tricked by the watchers of signs, he got very angry and gave orders that all the sons in Bethlehem and its districts that were two years old and younger be killed, because that was the period that he had found out from the watchers of signs.

17That fulfilled what had been spoken through the prophet Jeremiah which said:

18[ref]The sound of great weeping and mourning was heard in Ramah;


16Then Haʸrōdaʸs, having_seen that he_was_mocked by the wise_men, was_enraged exceedingly and having_sent_out, he_killed all the boys which in Baʸthleʼem/(Bēyt-leḩem) and in all the regions of_it from two_year and lower, according_to the time which he_ascertained from the wise_men.
17Then the message was_fulfilled having_been_spoken through Yeremias/(Yirməyāh) the prophet saying, 18A_voice in Ɽama/(Rāmāh) was_heard, weeping and great mourning, Ɽaⱪaʸl/(Rāḩēl) weeping for_the children of_her, and was_ not _wanting to_be_comforted, because they_are not.
