1. Micah prophesied in the second half of the eight century BC, during the period of the Ephraimite captivity. Yahweh speaks, in the persona of a shepherd (Micah 2/12), about the sheep that he wounded and shut out of the fold, something shepherds might do to young sheep given to straying.

   'In that day' declares Yahweh,
   'I will gather her who limps and I will gather out her who has been dispersed and her whom I have afflicted, and I will transform the lame into a remnant, and her who was driven far off into a strong nation and Yahweh will reign over them in Mount Zion from now on and throughout the duration of the eon. -Micah 4/6-7

   This young sheep is Feminine: it is a ewe-lamb, a Rachel Joseph's mother. And so we are again in the presence of Rachel, who represents her children, the Ephraimite confederation. In the Lamb's salutary hurting lies the pledge of her healing. The shepherd wounded her not for evil, but for good (Gen 50/20), and he who wounds will heal. Wounded and banished Rachel – that is, her stricken and exiled children – will be brought back to the fold, to one flock ruled by Yahweh from Zion.
   Then he turns to address Migdal Eder, that is, the Tower of the Flock, into which the dispersed Rachel is to be gathered.

   And you, Migdal Eder, stronghold of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, the chief dominion; the Kingdom will come to the daughter of Bethlehem.' -Micah 4/8
   (Says "Jerusalem" but lying pen of the scribes coverup possibly "temple" or "Ephrathah")

   The mention of this tower, Migdal Eder, confirms that we are on the right track with the story of Manasseh and Ephraim's grandmother Rachel. But it needs some explanation. As Jacob's family traveled from Bethel to Ephrath (Gen 35/16), Rachel went into labour a 'little way from Ephrath/Ephrathah, which is Bethlehem. There she died, and was buried on the road to Bethlehem-Ephrath; and there Jacob set a pillar over her grave (Gen 35/19-20). Jacob/Israel traveled on pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder, the 'Tower of the Flock' (Gen 35/21). So this Migdal Eder, we must conclude, was a well-known landmark when Genesis was written. It was presumably a tower for shepherds overseeing their flocks. It was set amid pasture-land, for Jacob pitched his tent and his flocks grazed there. This tower was still known in the time of Micah, who called it the ophel or "a mound, hill, emerod, fort, stronghold, tower" of Daughter Zion, that is, of Bethlehem.

   'In that day' declares Yahweh,
   'I will gather her who limps and I will gather out her who has been dispersed and her whom I have afflicted, and I will transform the lame into a remnant, and her who was driven far off into a strong nation and Yahweh will reign over them in Mount Zion from now on and throughout the duration of the eon.
   And you, tower of the flock, stronghold of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, the chief dominion; the Kingdom will come to the daughter of Bethlehem.'
