PatristicThey Are Dead That Sought the Life of the Child: The Infant Moses and the Infant Christ

The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Dixit ergo Dominus ad Moysen in Madian : Vade, et revertere in Ægyptum, mortui sunt enim omnes qui quærebant animam tuam.
Septuagint (Swete): εἶπεν δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν ἐν Μαδιάμ Βάδιζε ἄπελθε εἰς Αἴγυπτον· τεθνήκασιν γὰρ πάντες οἱ ζητοῦντές σου τὴν ψυχήν.
Hebrew (WLC): וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֤ה אֶל מֹשֶׁה֙ בְּמִדְיָ֔ן לֵ֖ךְ שֻׁ֣ב מִצְרָ֑יִם כִּי מֵ֨תוּ֙ כָּל הָ֣אֲנָשִׁ֔ים הַֽמְבַקְשִׁ֖ים אֶת נַפְשֶֽׁךָ

Haydock's commentary

Life. "After those many days were elapsed, the king of Egypt died," who had obliged Moses to flee, as the Septuagint, Josephus, and Philo add at the end of ver. 18. Upon which God, who had already commissioned him to go, and saw him willing, gives him this farther assurance that he has nothing to fear for his own person. (Haydock)
