λέγοντες, Ποῦ ἐστὶν ὁ τεχθεὶς βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων; Εἴδομεν γὰρ αὐτοῦ τὸν ἀστέρα ἐν τῇ ἀνατολῇ, καὶ ἤλθομεν προσκυνῆσαι αὐτῷ.

RBT Hebrew Literal:
"Where is He?"
those who say, "Where is he, the one who has been brought forth, a king of the Casters? For we perceived the Star7 of himself within the Rising one and we came to kiss toward himself.
Venus - Morning Star of the "Rising" East

Day Star/Dawn Star
The only planet that spins backwards....
leading the way to the Day...

"Current theory holds that Venus initially spun in the same direction as most other planets and, in a way, still does: it simply flipped its axis 180 degrees at some point..."

(cf. Scientific American)
Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
Where is he born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the sunrising, and have come to worship him.
LITV Translation:
saying, Where is He born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.
ESV Translation:
saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
