Matthew 2:13 · King James Version
And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
An angel, a dream, and an instruction to flee. The holy family left in the night with what they could carry.
