The Flight to Egypt
After the Magi had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up!” the angel said. “Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt. And stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the Child to kill Him.”
So, Joseph got up. He took the Child and His mother by night and left for Egypt, where they stayed until the death of Herod. This fulfilled what the Lord God had spoken through the prophet Hosea: “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”
(See Exodus 4:22; Hosea 11:1; Matthew 2:13-15)
