Verse Explanation
After the Magi leave, an angel warns Joseph in a dream that Herod intends to kill Jesus and commands him to take the child and Mary to Egypt, where they should remain until God gives further instructions.
History
Roman-period Judea: Egypt was outside Herod's direct kingdom and had large Jewish communities, making it a practical place of refuge.
