It is a reference to a prophecy found in the Old Testament and later cited in the New Testament. The phrase appears in Hosea 11:1 in the Old Testament and is quoted in Matthew 2:15 in the New Testament, where it is applied to Jesus Christ.
Biblical Passage: Hosea 11:1 (KJV)
"When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt."
This passage originally refers to the nation of Israel as God's "son," and it recalls the Exodus when the Israelites were brought out of Egypt by Moses, after being enslaved for centuries.
Biblical Passage: Matthew 2:15 (KJV)
"And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son."
In the New Testament, Matthew 2:15 refers to Jesus and how His family fled to Egypt to escape King Herod's massacre of infants. After Herod’s death, Joseph was directed in a dream to return to Israel, fulfilling the prophecy from Hosea.
Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
In Dalí’s surreal interpretation, the flight to Egypt would be portrayed as a dreamlike, distorted journey, where the Holy Family’s movements are reflected in surreal landscapes and fragmented forms, symbolizing their temporary exile and divine protection. Egypt would appear as a distorted refuge, with surreal elements such as floating pyramids or shifting sands representing its role as a place of safety before their return to Israel. Dalí would highlight the fulfillment of prophecy through light and divine symbols, focusing on how Jesus is not only the Son of God but also the fulfillment of Israel’s spiritual journey. The use of distorted time and symbolic shapes would emphasize the cosmic significance of these events, with the overarching theme of divine deliverance running throughout.
