* After the wise men had gone , Joseph had a dream . An angel of the Lord came to him and said , Get up . Take the child and his mother , and go quickly to the country of Egypt . Stay there till I tell you , because Herod will try to find the child and kill him . * Joseph woke up . He took the child and his mother in the night and went to Egypt . * He stayed there until Herod died . What the Lord told through his prophet long ago , came true . He said I called my son out of Egypt . * Herod saw that the wise men had fooled him . He was very angry . He sent men to kill all the baby boys in the town of Bethlehem and around it . They killed all the boys who were two years old or less . Herod remembered what the wise men had told him about the time they first saw the star . * So what the prophet Jeremiah said , came true . * He said , A voice could be heard in the town of Ramah . Rachel was crying for her children . She would not let anyone comfort her because her children were dead .
