Well, it seems that Micah has given the precise place where he "that is to be ruler in Israel" is to come from. From this verse, the seeker would no doubt understand that a ruler - a great ruler, for he is described as one "whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting" - would come from Bethlehem. It is not stated whether this will be the birth place or the dwelling place of this great one. It also is not explained what is meant by the term "shall he come forth unto me"
(34:5)
