Numbers 14:14

14:14 then they will tell it to the inhabitants ¹  of this land. They have heard that you, Lord, are among this people, that you, Lord, are seen face to face, ²  that your cloud stands over them, and that you go before them by day in a pillar of cloud and in a pillar of fire by night.

Matthew 1:23

1:23 “Look! The virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call him ³  Emmanuel,” ⁴  which means ⁵  “God with us.” ⁶ 

¹ tn The singular participle is to be taken here as a collective, representing all the inhabitants of the land.

² tn “Face to face” is literally “eye to eye.” It only occurs elsewhere in Isa 52:8. This expresses the closest communication possible.

³ tn Grk “they will call his name.”

⁴ sn A quotation from Isa 7:14.

⁵ tn Grk “is translated.”

⁶ sn An allusion to Isa 8:8, 10 (LXX).
