Exegesis
Two layered origin phrases—apo tēs Galilaias {ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας | apó tês Galilaías} and ek poleōs Nazareth {ἐκ πόλεως Ναζαρὲθ | ek pó-le-ōs Nazaréth}—identify Galilee and the city of Nazareth.
In context — Luke 2:4
Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city—called Bethlehem—because he was from the house and lineage of David .
