The Beauty of Spiritual Interpretation

To any seminaries who might be interested...

Matthew 2:21-23
But Joseph, having heard that Archelaus was ruling in Judea in the place of his father Herod, was afraid to go there. And having received revelation in a dream, he withdrew into the regions of Galilee. And he went and lived in a city called "Nazareth," so that it might be fulfilled what was spoken through the prophets [plural], "He will be called a Nazarene."

Isaiah 11:1
A shoot will go out from the stem of Jesse and a branch [nezer] from his roots will bear fruit.

Judges 13:5
The boy [Samson] will be a Nazirite [nezir] of God from the womb.

Any other suggestions? The entire guild of competent biblical scholars rests its case.
