If “Nazorean” (Matthew 2:23) is interpreted “holy,” or according to some “flower,” the name shows up in many places. Daniel calls him “holy of holies.” Isaiah says, “a rod from the root of Jesse and a flower from it.” (Isaiah 11:1) And the Lord says of himself in the Song of Songs, “I am a flower of the field, a lily of the valleys.” (Song of Songs 2:1)
Greek
Εἰ δὲ ὁ Ναζωραῖος ἅγιος ἑρμηνεύεται ἢ κατά τινας 2 ἄνθος, εὑρί σκεται τοῦτο παρὰ πολλοῖς τὸ ὄνομα· "ἅγιον" γὰρ "ἁγίων" ὁ ∆ανιὴλ αὐτὸν ὀνομάζει. καὶ ὁ Ἠσαΐας· "ῥάβδον ἐκ τῆς ῥίζης Ἰεσσαὶ καὶ ἄνθος ἐξ αὐτῆς" καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ κύριος περὶ ἑαυτοῦ λέγει ἐν τῷ ᾄσματι τῶν ᾀσμάτων· "ἐγὼ ἄνθος πεδίου, κρίνον τῶν κοιλάδων".
