In the Gospel According to Matthew, Joseph, son of Jacob went to Egypt. Afterwards, the king ordered all the baby boys in Bethlehem to be killed, however Jesus was spared. This is called the Slaughter of the Innocents.
In the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament), Joseph, son of Jacob, went to Egypt. Afterwards, the king ordered all the Israelite baby boys in Egypt to be killed, however Moses was spared.
There are, of course some differences, but the story of the Slaughter of the Innocents is considered to be copied from the earlier account in Judaism.
