Connections around Hosea 11:1
The flight to Egypt explicitly fulfills Hosea 11:1
Explicit fulfillmentHigh confidenceMatthew uses his fulfillment formula for the return from Egypt.
Evidence:Matthew 2:15 quotes Hosea 11:1
Direct quotationHigh confidenceMatthew quotes Hosea's line about Israel's exodus and applies it to the child's return from Egypt. In Hosea the son is Israel; Matthew reads the Son as retracing Israel's story.
Evidence:Other responsible views
- Hosea speaks of Israel, not the Messiah: Hosea 11:1 refers to the nation's exodus. Matthew's use is widely understood as typological: Jesus relives Israel's history as the true Son. This reading does not deny Hosea's original sense.
