Matthew 2:8, 10, 11, 13, 14 “young child”

Matthew 2:7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

Matthew 2:16 - Herod kills all “from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.”

Seems to me the wise men told Herod that the star appeared around two years earlier. Toddler could be the description.

If the star appeared two years earlier, that does not mean that Jesus was born two years earlier. The wise men found Jesus in Bethlehem. There’s no logical reason to believe the Holy Family was there for two years or even one year.

Herod was just trying to cover all possibilities by murdering EVERY male child under two years of age.
