Leviticus 26:33
Deuteronomy 28:64-68
scatter <06327> [scatter.]
worship <05647> [there thou shalt.]
those <01992> [among.]
After the conquest of their country by the Romans, Hadrian, by a public decree, ratified by the senate, forbad any Jew to come even within sight of Judea; and hence they were dispersed over every quarter of the globe, where they found no alleviation or respite from misery. In no country are they treated as denizens; all suspect them as enemies, and behave to them as aliens; if they do not, as had been too frequently the case, harass, oppress, and persecute them, even unto death.
rest <07280> [shalt thou.]
Lord <03068> [the Lord.]
failing eyesight <05869 03631> [failing of eyes.]
return ... Egypt <04714 07725> [bring thee into Egypt.]
This verse seems especially to point out an event, which took place subsequently to the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus, and the desolation made by Hadrian. Numbers of the captives were sent by sea into Egypt (as well as into other countries), and sold for slaves at a vile price, and for the meanest offices; and many thousands were left to perish from want; for the multitude was so great, that purchasers could not be found for them all at any price!
sell <04376> [there ye shall.]
Deuteronomy 32:26-27
adversaries <06862> [lest their.]
say <0559> [they should.]
power <03027> [Our hand, etc. or, Our high hand and not the Lord hath done all this.]
Psalms 106:27
die <05307> [overthrow. Heb. make them fall. to scatter.]
Jeremiah 15:4
make <02189 05414> [cause them to be removed. Heb. give them for a removing.]
because <01558> [because.]
