Yet will I leave a remnant, &c.] 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, (<260502>Ezekiel 5:2,12); 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.
