Now when they were departed, behold, an 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 tell thee: for
Herod will seek the young child to destroy him." He arose and 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 by the Lord through the prophet, saying, "Out of Egypt did I
call my son."
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise-men, was
exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that
were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old
and under, according to the time which he had exactly learned of the
Wise-men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah
the prophet, saying,
"A voice was heard in Ramah,
Weeping and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children;
And she would not be comforted, because they are not."
