The interval of time between the departure of the Magi and Joseph's dream is not specified. Probably it was very short. As with the Magi, the dream may have come as an echo of his waking thoughts, an answer to the perplexities with which their visit and the other wonders of the time had filled his spirit. Flee into Egypt.--The nearness of Egypt had always made it a natural asylum for refugees from Palestine. So Jeroboam had found shelter there (1Kings 11:40), and at a later date, Johanan the son of Kareah and his companions had fled thither from the face of Nebuchadnezzar (Jeremiah 43:7). The number of Jews who were settled in Alexandria and other cities of Egypt had probably made the step still more common during the tyranny of Herod's later years. Verse 13. - And (Revised Version, now) when they were departed. The flight was not by their advice, and they were not even entrusted with the secret. Behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream (Matthew 1:20, notes). The present tense (φαίνεται) is here more vivid. Saying, Arise (ver. 14, note), and take the young Child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word; Revised Version, I tell thee (ἕως α}ν εἴπω σοι). The rendering of the Authorized Version seems to be due to a desire to express the dependence of the messenger on him who sent him. For Herod; though he spoke so fair to the Magi. Will seek. The full form (μέλλει ... ζητεῖν) hints that Herod's action will be the result of no momentary emotion, but of premeditation. The young Child to destroy him. The final motive (τοῦ ἀπολέσαι) of seeking him. 2:13-15 Egypt had been a house of bondage to Israel, and particularly cruel to the infants of Israel; yet it is to be a place of refuge to the holy Child Jesus. God, when he pleases, can make the worst of places serve the best of purposes. This was a trial of the faith of Joseph and Mary. But their faith, being tried, was found firm. If we and our infants are at any time in trouble, let us remember the straits in which Christ was when an infant. 16-18 Herod killed all the male children, not only in Bethlehem, but in all the villages of that city. Unbridled wrath, armed with an unlawful power, often carries men to absurd cruelties. It was no unrighteous thing with God to permit this; every life is forfeited to his justice as soon as it begins. The diseases and deaths of little children are proofs of original sin. But the murder of these infants was their martyrdom. How early did persecution against Christ and his kingdom begin! Herod now thought that he had baffled the Old Testament prophecies, and the efforts of the wise men in finding Christ; but whatever crafty, cruel devices are in men's hearts, the counsel of the Lord shall stand.Jump to Previous Angel Appeared Appeareth Arise Babe Child Departed Destroy Dream Egypt Escape Flee Herod Joseph Mother Order Rise Search Seek Word YoungJump to Next Angel Appeared Appeareth Arise Babe Child Departed Destroy Dream Egypt Escape Flee Herod Joseph Mother Order Rise Search Seek Word YoungLinks Matthew 2:13 NIVMatthew 2:13 NLT Matthew 2:13 ESV Matthew 2:13 NASB Matthew 2:13 KJV Matthew 2:13 Bible Apps Matthew 2:13 Biblia Paralela Matthew 2:13 Chinese Bible Matthew 2:13 French Bible Matthew 2:13 German Bible Alphabetical: a an and angel appeared behold child destroy dream Egypt escape flee for Get going gone had he Herod him his I in is Joseph kill Lord mother Now of remain said search Stay take tell the there they to until up When you NT Gospels: Matthew 2:13 Now when they had departed behold (Matt.
