Yes they did; it is Numbers 6:2. He is prophet, priest, king and priests separate themselves.
Matt 2:23 is not specifically just a place name. jt

But did they find the OT verse that Matthew was referring to in Matthew 2:23 when he wrote:
"and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets:
"He will be called a Nazarene." Love, Caroline
Actually, Judy -- Caroline is making a good point. You have argued against many times that scriptures "says what it says." Yet, you are not willing accept your own demands. I am not aware that anyone makes your argument. Apparently, "Nazarene" has something to do with "branch," "sprout," or "shoot" and may be tied to to Is 11:1. I don't know -- going to Numbers 6:2 doesn't come close, for me.
