Matthew 2:23
And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled⁎ which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
I have a Hebrew Greek Key Study Bible, KJV, published by AMG in 1991 and I want to share a tiny portion, and I mean small, glimpse of how inaccurate references can be.
In Matthew 2:23 it provides 2 references to the latter half of the verse referring to Jesus being called a Nazarene.
⁎Judges 13:5
For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
⁎1 Samuel 1:11
And she vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
I have read the Bible for the last 50+/- years and I have known about this, and many more inaccuracies, in regards to this particular Bible and the Gospels/NT and am now sharing my thoughts.
Over these last years I have come across many things of the Gospels and New Testament that do not aligned with the Old Testament. Bear in mind that the purpose of this post is not to compare or contrast the Jewish Scriptures to the Christian writings, nor to validate or not validate any writings. Simply, I want to focus the attention on this Bible's inaccurate reference.
Looking at the referenced verses I find no direct or indirect reference to a Jesus. Judges 13:5 speaks of Manoah's wife and the child is Samson and 1 Samuel 1:11 speaks of Hannah and the child is Samuel.
I find that the publisher allowed such inaccuracies into the media stream having to have known from its due diligence the references missed the mark. It's fraudulent to hold that the two references could in any way purport to support the inference that Jesus was being spoken of.
It's a complete misleading of a reader. Novice readers fail to research and do any due diligence. This is how the public is lead to the slaughter. By believing everything that is printed.
