# General Information:
|
|
|
|
These events happen before Herod's death, which Matthew mentioned in [Matthew 2:15](../02/15.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-events]])
|

|
# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Here the scene shifts back to Herod and tells what he did when he learned that the learned men had deceived him.
|
|
|
|
# he had been mocked by the learned men
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "the learned men had embarrassed him by tricking him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
|
|
|
|
# He sent and slew all the male children
|
|
|
|
Herod did not slay the children himself. Alternate translation: "He gave orders for his soldiers to slay all the boys" or "He sent soldiers there to slay all the boy babies" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# slew
|
|
|
|
This word is the past tense of "slay."
|
|
|
|
# two years old and under
|
|
|
|
"2 years old and younger" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-numbers]])
|
|
|
|
# according to the time
|
|
|
|
"based on the time"
