Matthew 2:14
Douay-Rheims
Who arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt: and he was there until the death of Herod:
George Leo Haydock
It is very probable that Joseph, with Jesus and his Mother, remained in some part of Egypt, where the Jews were settled, as at Alexandria. That many Jews dwelt in Egypt, particularly from the time of the prophet Jeremias, is evident from Josephus, and also from the first chapter of the second book of Machabees. Mention is also made of them in Acts ii. and Act. iv. under the name of Alexandrines.
