Question source
Matthew
An angel warns Joseph in a dream to flee to Egypt because Herod is about to search for the child to destroy him Matthew 2:13. Joseph leaves by night and stays there until Herod dies Matthew 2:14–15.
13Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him."
14He arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt,
15and 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."
