Leviticus 26:33 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 26:33

And I will scatter you among the Heathen
As with a fan, ( Jeremiah 15:7 ) ; so they were at the time of the Assyrian and Babylonish captivities, some were carried to one place, and some to another, some fled to one place, and some to another, and they are at this day scattered among the several nations of the world; and will draw out a sword after you;
draw it out of its scabbard, and with it pursue after them, when fleeing or going whither they should not; as the remainder of the Jews in Judea sought to go to Egypt, contrary to the will of God, ( Jeremiah 42:16 ) ; see ( Leviticus 26:25 ) ; and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste;
for want of men to till the one, and inhabit the other.
