Connection with Abram's rescue from Egypt
God brought Abram out of Egypt unharmed and with all his possessions (Genesis 12:20). He would run the same rescue again for a whole nation, and again when He called His own Son out of Egypt. The promise that all the families of the earth would be blessed survived Egypt because God guarded it.
Read the whole studyConnection with Abram's trip to Egypt
Abram went down into Egypt and God brought him out again (Genesis 12). When Herod hunted a child, God took His own Son down into Egypt and then called Him out, so Matthew quotes Hosea over Jesus. Every descent into Egypt and every calling-up points to the one true Son who went down and came up for us.
