Ezekiel 6:8

8 et relinquam in vobis eos qui fugerint gladium in gentibus cum dispersero vos in terris

Ezekiel 6:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 6:8

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 Ezekiel 5:12 ) ; 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.

Ezekiel 6:8 In-Context

6 in omnibus habitationibus vestris urbes desertae erunt et excelsa demolientur et dissipabuntur et interibunt arae vestrae et confringentur et cessabunt idola vestra et conterentur delubra vestra et delebuntur opera vestra

7 et cadet interfectus in medio vestri et scietis quoniam ego Dominus

8 et relinquam in vobis eos qui fugerint gladium in gentibus cum dispersero vos in terris

9 et recordabuntur mei liberati vestri in gentibus ad quas captivi ducti sunt quia contrivi cor eorum fornicans et recedens a me et oculos eorum fornicantes post idola sua et displicebunt sibimet super malis quae fecerunt in universis abominationibus suis

10 et scient quia ego Dominus non frustra locutus sum ut facerem eis malum hoc
