In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the dispersion of people, particularly in the context of persecution or divine judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, scattering was a common agricultural practice, essential for planting crops. This imagery was often used metaphorically in Jewish and early Christian writings to describe the dispersion of people, such as the Jewish Diaspora. The concept of scattering also held theological significance, symbolizing both judgment and the spread of God's people to fulfill His purposes.
