[4] For the Nazarites (Hebrew נְזִרִים /nəzɪrim/, "separate" or "consecrated") in the
Septuagint see e.g.

nu 9; from the Hebrew נצרת /natsɛrɛθ/, Nazareth). The confusion may go back to the Gospels:
Matthew 2.23 "he shall be called a
*nazwrai=os" (cf.
nu 12); but the interpretation of this passage is disputed, especially since the alleged quotation has no obvious source in the
