The same general reason, that is, the danger of extinction, caused Israel in its national infancy and the infant Jesus (cf. Genesis 42:1–43:34; 45:18; 46:3, 4; Ezekiel 16:4–6; Jeremiah 31:20) to sojourn in Egypt. [6] The verse has two textual variants: one is the standard reading of "Out of Egypt I called my son" and a second is found in ...
This is referring to the Old Testament verse Hosea 11:1. However, that passage reads, When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. Skeptics say that the Hosea passage clearly is talking about a historical event and therefore the passage clearly is not a prophecy.

Where the prophet Hosea has God say of Israel, "Out of Egypt I called my son," , Matthew interprets the phrase as a reference to Jesus. Likewise, Isaiah's promise of a child as a sign to King Ahaz (Isaiah 7:14) is understood by Matthew to refer to Jesus.
