Does anyone have a good explanation for Mattai 2:23?
The best I could think to do with it is go with the Hebrew spelling, "Natzri", in which case my footnote at the bottom of the page found in the link below makes sense:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.amanyahu.com/Sebaryatha_d-Peshitta_b-Lishana_Aramaya/Mattai/Ch_2/">http://www.amanyahu.com/Sebaryatha_d-Pe ... ttai/Ch_2/</a><!-- m -->
But, I don't know what to do with "Nasraya", if that is a word-play I can't recognise it, or how that could link to a Messianic prophecy by a prophet, with the tiny tiny tiny amount of Aramaic that I know. Victor Alexander went with "Victorious, He will be called." But, he doesn't give any specific Tanakh references that "Victorious, He will be called" could be referring to, and without which we don't seem to be any farther along.
