Then Herod, seeing that he had been made fun of by the Magi, was very angry indeed. And he sent and destroyed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in its boundaries of two years and under, in accordance with what he had exactly inquired about from the Magi. Then it was fulfilled, what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, who said: "a voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and much lamentation, Rachel weeping over her children and she would not be comforted - because they are no more.“ Matthew 2:16-19.
