And the Angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him to quickly depart for Egypt and reside there until Herod's death. And he, Mary and Jesus did reside there until Herod's death. Then God appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him to return to Israel. And they did depart and fulfilled the prophecy;

When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

* Hosea 11:1
