Nehemiah 1:8 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 1:8

Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy
servant Moses
To publish and declare to the children of Israel, ( Deuteronomy 28:64 ) ( 30:3-5 ) ,

saying, if ye transgress;
the law of God:

I will scatter you abroad among the nations;
as now they had been among the Assyrians, Chaldeans, Medes, and Persians.

Nehemiah 1:8 In-Context

6 Let your ear now take note and let your eyes be open, so that you may give ear to the prayer of your servant, which I make before you at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel, your servants, while I put before you the sins of the children of Israel, which we have done against you: truly, I and my father's people are sinners.

7 We have done great wrong against you, and have not kept the orders, the rules, and the decisions, which you gave to your servant Moses.

8 Keep in mind, O Lord, the order you gave your servant Moses, saying, If you do wrong I will send you wandering among the peoples:

9 But if you come back to me and keep my orders and do them, even if those of you who have been forced out are living in the farthest parts of heaven, I will get them from there, and take them back to the place marked out by me for the resting-place of my name.

10 Now these are your servants and your people, whom you have made yours by your great power and by your strong hand.
