When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
Entonces José se levantó, tomó al niño y a su madre durante la noche, y se fueron a Egipto.

📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Gospel of Matthew, this verse continues the story of Jesus' early life, where an angel had warned Joseph in a dream to flee Bethlehem because King Herod sought to kill the infant Jesus out of fear of a prophesied king. This flight to Egypt echoes the experiences of the Israelites in the Old Testament, fulfilling prophecies like Hosea 11:1, and reflects the historical reality of Herod's tyrannical rule, which included mass killings to maintain power. The journey by night highlights the urgency and secrecy needed in a time when Roman-occupied Judea was fraught with political instability and danger.
