Verse 8
Yet will I leave a remnant ,.... Not in Judea, but in Babylon, and in the countries where they should be dispersed, as follows:
that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations ; which was threatened to be drawn, and sent after them, Ezekiel 5:2 ; but all should not perish by if; some should escape; for this was not the time to make a full end of them:
when ye shall be scattered through the countries ; that is, of Egypt, Ammon, Moab, and Assyria; for this respects their dispersion at the time of the Babylonish captivity, and not their present dispersion.
Be the first to react on this!
