Nehemiah 1:8

Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:

Cross-reference

Leviticus 26:33-46 is the source of the scattering curse Nehemiah quotes — God warned of dispersion for covenant unfaithfulness.

Deuteronomy 4:25-27 is another covenant warning of scattering among nations, reinforcing the same threat Nehemiah recalls.

Deuteronomy 28:64 directly states the scattering as part of the curses list, which Nehemiah references as God's instruction.

Psalm 119:49 also pleads 'Remember your word to your servant,' closely paralleling Nehemiah's appeal.

Deuteronomy 4:27 specifically says 'scatter you among the peoples' — the exact language Nehemiah likely has in mind.

Jeremiah 9:16 repeats the same scattering threat from the Mosaic covenant, reinforcing the warning Nehemiah prays back to God.

Ezekiel 22:15 declares God will scatter Israel among nations, a direct parallel to the Mosaic curse Nehemiah remembers.

In Ezekiel 39:28, God promises to gather Israel after scattering them, reinforcing the same covenant promise Nehemiah recalls.

Isaiah 14:1 Contrast

Isaiah 14:1 promises God will restore and settle Israel—contrasting the scattering warning Nehemiah recalls. A covenant reversal from judgment to compassion.

Deuteronomy 32:26-28 also speaks of scattering as judgment, echoing the same covenantal warning Nehemiah prays about.
