I have wondered about why God had Joseph and Mary take the infant to Egypt. He could have sent 10,000 angels to protect him at any instant or do any other thing he wanted.

I guess it was to fulfill some prophecy tho I don’t know what.

It was

When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.” So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.” Matthew 2:13-15
