John Gill Commentary Deuteronomy 30:4

"If [any of] thine outcasts be in the uttermost parts of heaven, from thence will Jehovah thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:" — Deuteronomy 30:4 (ASV)

If [any] of yours be driven out to the outermost parts of
heaven
As many of them are in this remote island of ours, Great Britain, reckoned formerly the uttermost part of the earth, as Thule, supposed to be Schetland, an isle belonging to Scotland, is said to be.

And as some of them are thought to be in America, which Manasseh Ben Israel ^F14 has a firm belief of.

from thence will the Lord your God gather you, and from thence will he
fetch you ;
whose eye is omniscient, and reaches every part of the world; and whose arm is omnipotent, and none can stay it, or turn it back. The Targum of Jonathan is: "from thence will he bring you near by the hands of the King Messiah."
