13NowG1161 when they wereG1510 departed, beholdG2400, an angelG32 of the LordG2962 appeareth to JosephG2501 in a dreamG3677, sayingG3004, AriseG1453 and takeG3880 the young childG3813 and his motherG3384, and fleeG5343 into EgyptG125, and beG1510 thou there until I tellG3004 thee: for HerodG2264 will seekG2212 the young childG3813 to destroyG622 him. 14And he arose and tookG3880 the young childG3813 and his motherG3384 by nightG3571, and departed into EgyptG125; 15and wasG1510 there until the death of HerodG2264: that it might beG1510 fulfilled which wasG1510 spoken by the LordG2962 through the prophetG4396, sayingG3004, Out of EgyptG125 did I callG2564 my sonG5207.

16Then HerodG2264, when he sawG3708 that he was mockedG1702 of the Wise-men, was exceeding wroth, and sentG649 forthG649, and slew all the male childrenG3816 that were in BethlehemG965, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, accordingG2596 to the timeG5550 which he had exactly learned of the Wise-men. 17ThenG5119 was fulfilled that which was spoken through JeremiahG2408 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004,

18A voiceG5456 wasG1510 heardG191 in Ramah,WeepingG2799 and greatG4183 mourningG3602,Rachel weepingG2799 for her childrenG5043;And she would not beG1510 comfortedG3870, because they areG1510 not.
