Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him.” 14 Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt.

- 2:13 Flee to Egypt: Egypt was a traditional place of refuge for those fleeing from danger in Palestine (see 1 Kgs 11:40; Jer 26:21), but the main reason why the child is to be taken to Egypt is that he may relive the Exodus experience of Israel.
