- that I:
- The predictions of the dispersion of Israel, delivered by Moses just before his death, are evidently here referred to: they received a partial accomplishment at the Babylonian captivity, but are more exactly fulfilling at this day. "And I will scatterª° you among the heathen,ª and will draw outª° a swordª afterª you: and your landª shall be¹ desolate,ª and your citiesª waste.ª" {Lev 26:33} + "And the LORDª shall scatterª° thee among all¹ people,ª from the one endª¹ of the earthª even unto¹ the other;ª¹ and there¹ thou shalt serveª° otherª gods,ª which¹ neither¹ thou¹ nor thy fathersª have known,ª° [even] woodª and stone.ª ... And the LORDª shall bringª° thee into Egyptª again²° with ships,ª by the wayª whereof¹ I spakeª° unto thee, Thou shalt seeª° it no¹ more¹ again:²°¹ and there¹ ye shall be soldª° unto your enemiesª° for bondmenª and bondwomen,ª and no man¹ shall buyª° [you]." {Deu 28:64-68} + "I said,ª° I would scatter them into corners,ª° I would make the remembranceª of them to ceaseª° from among men:²¹¹ ... Were it not² that¹ I fearedª° the wrathª of the enemy,ª° lest¹ their adversariesª should behave themselves strangely,ª° [and] lest¹ they should say,ª° Our handª [is] high,ª° and the LORDª hath not¹ doneª° all¹ this.¹" {Deu 32:26-27} + "To overthrowª° their seedª also among the nations,ª and to scatterª° them in the lands.ª" {Psa 106:27} + "And I will causeª° them to be removedª°² into all¹ kingdomsª of the earth,ª because² of¹ Manassehª the sonª of Hezekiahª kingª of Judah,ª for¹ [that] which¹ he didª° in Jerusalem.ª" {Jer 15:4}
