Moreover I sware unto them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;

Again I lifted up my hand upon them in the wilderness, to disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries :

I lifted up my hand also unto them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;

Moreover I lifted up mine hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries,

I lifted up my hand to them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;

I also, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, To scatter them among nations, And to spread them through lands.

Further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land that I would send them wandering among the nations, driving them out among the countries;

Again, I lifted up my hand against them, in the wilderness, so that I would disperse them among the nations, and scatter them among the lands.

Etiam ego levavi [279] ad disjiciendos ipsos inter gentes, et spargendos per terras;

I lifted up mine hand also to them in the wilderness,.... Swore unto them, as in Ezekiel 20:5;
that I would scatter them among the Heathen, and disperse them through the countries; after they came to be settled in the land of Canaan, they sinning against the Lord; which was fulfilled in the times of the Babylonish captivity, and in their destruction by the Romans; but was threatened and foretold while they were in the wilderness, Leviticus 26:33; with this compare Psalm 106:26.

It was to that generation the threat of dispersion was proclaimed (Deuteronomy 28:64; compare Ezekiel 29:4).

I lifted - I sware.
