"Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there till I tell you;"(Matthew 2:13) After the Wise men from the East had departed, the angel of the LORD appeared to Joseph in a dream and instructed him to journey to Egypt in order to protect the Holy Child from those that sought to destroy Him. In obedience, Joseph took Mary and the Holy Child to Egypt, thus fulfilling the prophesy - "Out of Egypt have I called my son."
