And having been warned in a chalom (dream) not to return to Herod, they took refuge in their own country by another way. And when they'd gone — hinei! — a malach HASHEM appeared to Yosef in a chalom (dream), saying, Arise, and take the yeled and his Em, and flee to Eretz Mitzrayim (Egypt), and stay there until I tell you, for Herod is about to seek the yeled to destroy him. So, having got up, Yosef took the yeled, and his Em by night and departed for Eretz Mitzrayim. And Yosef was there until the mot Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by HASHEM through the Navi, UMIMITZRAYIM KARATI LIVNI (Out of Egypt have I called my Son). When Herod saw that he had been outwitted by the chachamim, he was greatly enraged, and he ordered the slaughter of all the yeladim in Beit-Lechem and its vicinity who were two years old or under, in accordance with the time that he had learned from the chachamim.
