When eight days had passed for His brit-milah, He was named Yeshua, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb. And when the days of their purification were fulfilled, according to the Torah of Moses, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present to ADONAI. As it is written in the Torah of ADONAI, “Every firstborn male that opens the womb shall be called holy to ADONAI.” So they offered a sacrifice according to what was said in the Torah of ADONAI: “a pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons.” Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and pious, waiting for the consolation of Israel. The Ruach ha-Kodesh was on him. And it had been revealed to him by the Ruach ha-Kodesh that he would not die before he had seen the Anointed One of ADONAI. So in the Ruach, Simeon came into the Temple; and when the parents brought the Child Yeshua to do for Him according to the custom of the Torah, Simeon received Him into his arms and offered a bracha to God, saying, “Now may You let Your servant go in peace, O Sovereign Master, according to Your word. For my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples: ‘A light for revelation to the nations’ and the glory of Your people Israel.”
