10
C'est pourquoi des pères mangeront leurs enfants au milieu de toi, et des enfants mangeront leurs pères; j'exercerai mes jugements contre toi, et je disperserai à tous les vents tout ce qui restera de toi.
Ézéchiel 5:10
Ézéchiel 12:15
15
Et ils sauront que je suis l'Eternel, Quand je les répandrai parmi les nations, Quand je les disperserai en divers pays.
Country
Generally in the Bible a "country" means a political subdivision ruled by a king, or sometimes a tribe with a territory ruled by a king or chieftain. Others are what we now call city-states, with surrounding farm areas. In almost all cases these countries were far smaller than our modern idea of countries, though Egypt and Assyria would be exceptions. Sometimes the word is used to refer to countryside, a wide area with no consideration of boundaries as when the twelve Israelites were sent to spy out the country.
