1:8 Please recall the word you commanded your servant Moses: ‘If you act unfaithfully, I will scatter you among the nations. 1 1:9 But if you repent 2 and obey 3 my commandments and do them, then even if your dispersed people are in the most remote location, 4 I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen for my name to reside.’
1 tnHeb “peoples.”
2 tnHeb “turn to me.”
3 tnHeb “keep.” See the note on the word “obey” in Neh 1:5.
