Mary Joseph
The Flight to Egypt-joseph and Mary
The Gospel of Matthew is the only one to mention the flight to Egypt made by Joseph and Mary with the infant Jesus, or to recall the Old Testament verse “Out of Egypt have I called my Son”. He was referring to the prophecy made in the Book of Hosea 11:1.
Their journey crossing THE SINAI DESERT down to Egypt, and their time in exile there, followed in the path of a tradition that goes back to the very roots of the Bible.
The Old Testament book of Genesis tells of the journey the Patriarch Abraham made down to Egypt. He arrived in Canaan, still called Abram, and was promised the land by God: “Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South. And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the Land”. Genesis 12:9-10.
Abraham’s great-grandson Joseph, famous for his coat of many colours, was sold by his brothers and taken as a slave into Egypt. By accurately interpreting the Pharaoh’s dreams he eventually rose to become the most powerful man in the land after the king himself.
Later, when famine again struck Canaan, Joseph’s brothers also went down to Egypt. And so the Children of Israel came to dwell in Egypt, where they multiplied through the generations until “there arose a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph”.
It is generally believed that this would have been the mighty pharaoh, Ramses II, who reigned in 3,000 BC for 66 years, sired 90 children and carved his name onto more colossal buildings than any other pharaoh before or after him.
He ordered the Children of Israel to be enslaved and put them to work constructing Egypt’s great cities. Fearful of their numbers he ordered the sons of the Hebrews to be killed. One babe, however, was saved and set afloat in the Nile. Rescued by the daughter of Pharaoh she brought the child up as her own. This was child was Moses, who grew up as a prince of Egypt but eventually set his people free, leading them on the Exodus out of bondage and back to the Promised Land.
The Sinai Desert is a 24,000 square mile land-bridge linking Africa with Asia. This wedge-shaped peninsula thrusts itself into the Red Sea creating the Gulfs of Suez to the southwest and Aqaba to the southeast. To the north it is bound by the Mediterranean Sea.
Its sparkling blue waters and long stretches of the bright yellow sand give the Sinai some of the most magnificent beaches in the region. Many of these, especially along the Gulf shore at Ras Muhammed and Ras Burkar, are famed as among the finest coral reefs in the world.
The savage beauty of the Sinai Desert is a mixture of bare craggy mountains, dry rocky valleys and endlessly shifting sand dunes. It is here, in the Sinai Desert, that God taught His people to trust in His care and provision.

How were Joseph and Mary married at the time of Jesus' birth if they had not consumated their relationship?
According to the doctrine of the virginal birth, Mary was a virgin at the time of Jesus' conception at the time of Jesus' birth. How were Joseph and Mary married at the time of the Nativity if they had not consummated their relationship?
They were engaged when Mary became pregnant and Joseph wanted to divorce her secretly but the angel came and told him that it was all right the infant she was carrying in her womb came from holy spirit. So Joseph took Mary to his home (which is how a marriage was acknowledged back them) and they were married. They just didn't have intercourse until after Jesus was born. They did have other children so they did have a normal marital relationship after that.
