Matius 2:13

The Escape to Egypt

2:13 After they had gone, an ⁴  angel of the Lord ⁵  appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for Herod ⁶  is going to look for the child to kill him.”

[23:29]  ¹ tn Or “scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.

[23:29]  ² tn Grk “Because you.” Here ὅτι (Joti) has not been translated.

[23:29]  ³ tn Or perhaps “the monuments” (see L&N 7.75-76).

[2:13]  ⁴ tn Grk “behold, an angel.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[2:13]  ⁵ tn Or “the angel of the Lord.” See the note on the word “Lord” in 1:20.

[2:13]  ⁶ sn See the note on King Herod in 2:1. Herod the Great was particularly ruthless regarding the succession to his throne.
