Study Note

'She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins' — the angelically delivered naming rationale is a translational interpretation: 'Jesus' (Greek Iēsous, from Hebrew Yeshua/Joshua, 'YHWH saves') has its meaning unpacked christologically rather than etymologically. The phrase 'his people' (ton laon autou) carries the Exodus covenant resonance — the people YHWH brought out of Egypt — now applied to Jesus as the new Moses and the divine deliverer. The substitution of 'from their sins' for the expected military or political deliverance (the expected messianic function) signals Matthew's programmatic reinterpretation of messianic expectations. The name Jesus/Joshua was previously borne by the leader who brought Israel into the promised land — Matthew presents the son of David as the greater Joshua bringing a greater salvation into a greater promised inheritance.
