This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
Mat 2:23:
23 Once he got there, he settled into a town called Nazaret, and so what had been spoken through the prophets would be fulfilled: “He’ll be called a Nazarene.”[fn][ref]
2:23 This is not a specific quote from the Hebrew Scriptures, but note that Matthew does say ‘the prophets’ (not ‘the prophet’). This could be: ¹A play on Hebrew ‘נצר’ from Yeshayah (Isaiah) 11:1 where ‘branch/shoot’ (netser) is similar to ‘Natsaret’ (Nazaret/natsrat), ²a play on Shimshon (Samson) the ‘Nazirite’ (נְזִיר) from Heroes (Judges) 13:5,7, or ³just a slur on Yeshua being from insignificant Nazaret (Nazareth) as per Yohan (John) 1:46.
