# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Matthew quotes the prophet Hosea to show that the Christ would spend time in Egypt.
|
|
|
|
# He remained
|
|
|
|
It is implied that Joseph, Mary, and Jesus remained in Egypt. Alternate translation: "They remained" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# until the death of Herod
|
|
|
|
Herod does not die until [Matthew 2:19](../02/19.md). This statement describes the length of their stay in Egypt, and it does not say that Herod died at this time.

# Out of Egypt I have called my son
|
|
|
|
"I have called my son out of Egypt"
|
|
|
|
# my son
|
|
|
|
In Hosea this refers to the people of Israel. Matthew quoted it to say that this was true of God's Son, Jesus. Translate it using a word for son that could refer to the only son or the first son.
