Shlama lukhon,
While Hebrew Isaiah 11:1 reads: "And a shoot will spring forth from the stem of Jesse, and a branch shall sprout from his roots",
The ancient Jewish Targumist(s) understood this verse as applying directly to the Messiah as evidenced by thier Aramaic paraphrase shown below:
ybrty yhwnb ynbm 'xySmw ySyd yhwnbm 'klm qwpyw
"The King will come from the sons of Jesse, and the Messiah will grow from the sons of his sons"
