Bible Comments

The Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships. — Josephus says this was done with many of the Jews by Titus.

Thou shalt see it no more again.Deuteronomy 17:16.

Ye shall be sold... and no man shall buy you. — Rashi explains thus: “Ye shall desire to be sold — ye shall offer yourselves as slaves to your enemies, and shall be refused, because you are appointed to slaughter and destruction. Or the sellers shall sell you to other sellers, and no one will care to keep you.” But the same word is used in the following passage by Nehemiah, “We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold to the heathen” (Nehemiah 5:8). Probably the meaning in Deuteronomy is similar: “Ye shall be sold as slaves to your enemies, and there will be no one to redeem you.”
