Commentary on Matthew 2:20
The phrase 'they are dead which sought the young child's life' echoes Exodus 4:19 when God told Moses to return to Egypt, creating a typological parallel between Moses and Christ. Both were deliverers threatened by infanticide, preserved by God's providence. This connection reinforces Christ as the greater Moses who leads God's people from bondage to sin and death.
