Commentary on Matthew 2:15
The phrase 'Out of Egypt have I called my son' quotes Hosea 11:1, originally about Israel's exodus. Matthew sees a typological fulfillment—as Israel was God's 'son' called from Egypt, so Jesus (the true Israel) recapitulates Israel's experience but succeeds where they failed. Jesus' stay 'until the death of Herod' protected God's redemptive plan.
