The exile of the people of Israel

Deuteronomy 4:25-27,30

25 After you have had children and grandchildren and have lived in the land a long time—if you then become corrupt and make any kind of idol, doing evil in the eyes of the LORD your God and provoking him to anger,

26 I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live there long but will certainly be destroyed.

27 The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you.

30 When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the LORD your God and obey him.

(New International Version translation)

Bible passage: Deuteronomy 4:25-27,30
Prophet: Moses
Written: As early as 1400 BC

In Deuteronomy 4:25-30, Moses told the Israelites that they would perish from the land of Israel if they turned away from God.

The people of Israel endured two major exiles in their history. The first happened during ancient times, at the hands of the Assyrians and Babylonians. The second happened during the first and second centuries, at the hands of the Romans.

Even today, many centuries after the days of the Roman Empire, the majority of the descendants of the exiles continue to reside outside of Israel.
