They Say Matthew Made A HUGE Mistake… What He ACTUALLY Meant Will Blow You Away! 🤯 | @shamounian

Now for them to understand what you're referring to, can you open up Zechariah? I'm sorry, open up Matthew 27:9-10 so they can see why people say, "See, Matthew was mistaken."

nor is it an exact rendering of the Hebrew text. 2 Samuel 5:2 may have been combined with Micah's prophecy. Combining of similar Old Testament passages was a regular feature of rabbinic study of the scriptures because if they knew the backgrounds,
