Judges 13:5

Judges 16:17

17 So he told her all that was in his heart and said to her, “A razor has never come on my head, for I have been a aNazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will leave me and I will become weak and be like every other man.”

Matthew 2:13-23


The Flight to Egypt

13 Now when they had departed, behold, an aangel of the 1Lord *bappeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to destroy Him.”

14 So 1Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and departed for Egypt.
15 And he 1remained there until the death of Herod, in order that what had been spoken by the 2Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled, saying, “aOut of Egypt I called bMy Son.”

16 Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by athe magi, he became very enraged, and sent and bslew all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had carefully determined from the magi.
17 Then what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,
18
“aA voice was heard in Ramah,
Weeping and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children;
And she was refusing to be comforted,
Because they were no more.”

19 But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the 1Lord *aappeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
20 “Get up, take the Child and His mother, and go into the land of Israel; for those who sought the Child’s life are dead.” 21 So 1Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Then after being awarned by God in a dream, he departed for the district of Galilee, 23 and came and lived in a city called aNazareth, so that what was spoken through the prophets would be fulfilled: “He shall be called a bNazarene.”
