Now when they had departed ,
behold ,
an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream ,
saying , "
Arise ,
take the young Child and His mother ,
flee to Egypt ,
and stay there until I bring you word ;
for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him ."
*
When he arose ,
he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for 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 I called My Son ."
*
Then Herod ,
when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men ,
was exceedingly angry ;
and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts ,
from two years old and under ,
according to the time which he had determined from the wise men .
*
Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet ,
saying :
* "
A voice was heard in Ramah ,
Lamentation ,
weeping ,
and great mourning ,
Rachel weeping for her children ,
Refusing to be comforted ,
Because they are no more ."
