Answer & Explanation
✓ An angel told Joseph that Herod was going to kill all the male children in Bethlehem.
The magi (wise men) had told Herod that a Messiah was born in Bethlehem, and Herod killed all the male babies in Bethlehem because he did not want a rival to grow up. But Joseph was warned by an angel and outsmarted him by taking the family to Egypt until Herod died. (Genesis 37-50)
