This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
If they return to thee ... in the land of their captivity ... and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers - These words gave rise to the favorite usage of the ancient as well as modern Jews, of turning in prayer toward Jerusalem, in whatever quarter of the world they might be, and of directing their faces toward the temple when in Jerusalem itself or in any part of the holy land (1Ki 8:44).
