[4] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
taxing
   luke 2:2; r.v., "enrolment", "when cyrenius was governor of
   syria," is simply a census of the people, or an enrolment of
   them with a view to their taxation. the decree for the enrolment
   was the occasion of joseph and mary's going up to bethlehem. it
   has been argued by some that cyrenius q.v. was governor of
   cilicia and syria both at the time of our lord's birth and some
   years afterwards. this decree for the taxing referred to the
   whole roman world, and not to judea alone. see census.
