* When Herod was dead , an angel of the Lord appearing in a dream to Joseph in Egypt , said , * Arise , take the child with his mother , and go into the land of Israel ; for they are dead who sought his life . * Accordingly , he arose , took the child with his mother , and came to the land of Israel ; * but hearing that Archelaus had succeeded his father Herod in the throne of Judea , he was afraid to return thither ; and being warned in a dream , retired into the district of Galilee , * and resided in a city named Nazareth ; in this verifying the declarations of the Prophet concerning Jesus , that he should be called a Nazarene .
