the Jewish people were also told they would be scattered among the nations and would never find a place to rest their feet (Leviticus 26:26-39; Deuteronomy 28:64-67). The sword would follow after them, and they would bear the reproach of famine while in exile (Jeremiah 14; Ezekiel 5).
Still, God also promised that one day He would come and find His people, no matter how far they had been scattered, and return them to the land promised to Abraham and his descendants as an “everlasting possession.” (Genesis 17:8) This promise of a future restoration is spoken of by all the Hebrew prophets and is affirmed by all the great covenants of the Bible.
