13

And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death.

14

So he took the young child and his mother by night, and went into Egypt

15

And was there till the death of Herod so that the word of the Lord through the prophet might come true, Out of Egypt have I sent for my son.

16

Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was very angry and he sent out, and put to death all the male children in Beth-lehem and in all the parts round about it, from two years old and under, acting on the knowledge which he had got with care from the wise men.

17

Then the word of Jeremiah the prophet came true,

18

In Ramah there was a sound of weeping and great sorrow, Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be comforted for their loss.
