  2. Matthew 2:15 quotes Hosea 11:1

    Direct quotationHigh confidence

    Matthew 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.
