the birth of Jesus page 17 by ric Gustafson
King Herod waited for the Magi to return. When he found out that they had had gone back a different way, he flew into a rage. At the same time, an angel tells Joseph in a dream to flee to Egypt with Mary and their son. They leave that same evening. A spy for Herod finds out that the Magi had already left the village. Still fuming, Herod orders that all male children under two years of age are murdered. This is called the ' Massacre of the Innocents'. The journey was about two hundred miles on a route south to Hebron, west and then south into Egypt.
