13. Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into EGYPT, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him."

14. He arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into EGYPT,

15. and was there until the death of Herod; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, "Out of EGYPT I called my son."Hosea 11:1

16. Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out, and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.

17. Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying,

18. "A voice was heard in Ramah,lamentation, weeping and great mourning,Rachel weeping for her children;she wouldn't be comforted,because they are no more."Jeremiah 31:15

19. But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in EGYPT, saying,

20. "Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child's life are dead."
