1 | "He shall be called a Nazarene."? | Matt 2:23 | newoldstock | 95216 | ||
I am doing a detailed bible study of Matthew and can not find a reference in the Old Testament for "He shall be called a Nazarene." The Amplified I notice says the ref. is Isa. 11:1 Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse,And a branch from his roots will bear fruit. I don't see how it can be the proper reference. I can't see how I could pull "He shall ge called a Nazanene" from Isa. 11:1. Do you know of any other reference? | ||||||
2 | "He shall be called a Nazarene."? | Matt 2:23 | Emmaus | 95218 | ||
newoldstock, If I am not mistaken, the root word for Nazareth and Nazarene in Hebrew means "branch." You may want to check this out with one of the resident Hebrew scholars. Emmaus |

3 | Even if the root word is branch, how did | Matt 2:23 | newoldstock | 95268 | ||
Thanks Emmaus. Amplified says in brackets "branch or Separated One". I think that separated one would be Nazarite. Such as one who has taken a Nazarite vow.I appreciate your help, but to me it looks like the commentators are really reaching out on a "thin branch" for this one. Even if the root word is branch, how did Matthew get "He shall be called a Nazarene" from "then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse,And a branch from his roots will bear fruit."? Perhaps this quote is from a book that is missing or didn't make it into the Cannon. Jim | ||||||

Jim, I don't have any more to offer on the matter. It may seem a stretch but at least it is in the ballpark. I am not aware of any better reference. Apparently is not even familiar in the known apochyrphal books of the Old Tetstament. Emmaus |
