'Foreign' in the Bible

For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel,

"'But I will spare some of you. Some will escape the sword when you are scattered in foreign lands.

"Then they will know that I am the Lord when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them among foreign countries.

And I will also purge you of those who rebel and transgress against Me. I will bring them out of the land where they live as foreign residents, but they will not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.

I scattered them among the nations; they were dispersed throughout foreign countries. In accordance with their behavior and their deeds I judged them.
