| And when they were
departed, behold, the angel of the Lord
appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise,
and take the young child and his mother, and
flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring
thee 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 into Egypt: |
| And was there until the
death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Out of Egypt have I called my son. |
| Then Herod, when he saw
that he was mocked of the wise men, was
exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all
the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all
the coasts thereof, from two years old and
under, according to the time which he had
diligently inquired of the wise men. |
| Then was fulfilled that
which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, |
| In Rama was there a voice
heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great
mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and
would not be comforted, because they are not. |
