, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage.”

A star at its rising has a specific astronomical meaning based on the annual or seasonal changes in the position of the stars as the planet travels around our parent star at the centre of all planetary motions. It is similar to the gorgeous passage in
the Book of Job-

" Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in
the earth?"

Unlike the Ptolemaic framework, where the Sun moves directly through the twelve constellations, the initial framework and the basis of all timekeeping uses 36 risings of groupings of stars every ten days known as the Decans with a five-day period before
the beginning of the next year.

There is no doubt that Mazzaroth (hapax legomenon) is the same as Sothis and any other variant which comes down to us as Sirius-

".. on account of the procession of the rising of Sirius by one day in the course of four years,.. therefore it shall be that the year of 360 days and the five days added to their end, so one day shall be from this day after every four years added to the
5 epagomenae before the new year" Canopus Decree 238 BC

There is no need to dwell on the star of Bethlehem as an actual event, as no such rising can indicate a location on the planet; it can only indicate a date using its first seasonal or helical rising.

You got fooled again?
