This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 2:12. Χρηματισθέντες, being warned of God) sc. either each of them separately, or all of them through one of their number. Thus they had wished or prayed: for Χρηματισμὸς signifies an oracular answer, [and an answer implies a preceding question.] The same word occurs at Mat 2:22.-μὴ ἀνακάμψαι, not to return) They had therefore thought of doing so.-ἀνεχώρησαν, they departed) by a road, which led in another direction.
