The Context of Deuteronomy 28:64
Scattering and forced idolatry.
What Does Deuteronomy 28:64 Mean?
Scattering reaches from one end of the earth to the other—complete diaspora. In foreign lands, the scattered people serve gods unknown to them or their ancestors. Serving wood and stone—dead idols—replaces the living God. The exile is both physical and spiritual displacement.
The complete geographic dispersal compounds religious apostasy. Israel, chosen to be God's people, is forced into idolatry among foreign peoples.
