But, when Herod was, dead, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph in Egypt;

saying - Arise! and take unto thee the child and its mother, and be journeying into the land of Israel, - for they are dead, who were seeking the life of the child.

And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, and entered into the land of Israel.

Hearing, however, that, Archelaus, was reigning over Judaea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid, thither, to go, - and so, being instructed by dream, he retired into the parts of Galilee;

and came and fixed his dwelling in a city called Nazareth, - that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets - A Nazarene, shall he be called.
