Flight into Egypt


And when they were departed,
behold, the angel of the Lord
appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying,
Arise, and take the young child and his
mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou
there until I bring thee word: for Herod will 
seek the young child to destroy him.
When he arose, he took the young
child and his mother by night, and departed
into Egypt. And was there until the death
of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, say-
ing, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
But when Herod was dead, behold, an
angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to
Joseph in Egypt, Saying, Arise, and take the
young child and his mother, and go into the
land of Israel: for they are dead which
sought the young child's life, And he arose,
and took the young child and his mother,
and came into the land of Israel.

~ Matthew 2:13-15, 19-21
