# As he thought

"As Joseph thought"

# appeared to him in a dream

"came to him while Joseph was dreaming"

# son of David

Here "son" means "descendant."

# the one who is conceived in her is conceived by the Holy Spirit

This can be stated in active form. AT: "the Holy Spirit caused Mary to become pregnant with this child" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# She will give birth to a son

Because God sent the angel, the angel knew the baby was a boy.

# you will call his name

"you must name him" or "you must give him the name." This is a command.

# for he will save

Translator may add a footnote that says "The name 'Jesus' means 'the Lord saves.'"

# his people

This refers to the Jews.
