According to Acts 12:20, Herod was displeased with the people of Tyre and Sidon, [2] and forbade the export of food to them.

This verse is again clear that the child is not Joseph's. Egypt was the logical place to seek refuge as it was outside the dominions of King Herod. Throughout the Old Testament, it was the standard ...
