45 [1] AND I WILL FOR THEIR SAKES REMEMBER THE COVENANT OF THEIR ANCESTORS. This means that I will remember it for their sakes whether in the Land or outside the Land, both in the [first] exile alluded to here and likewise throughout all generations. This is the sense of the expression *in the sight of the nations* [*And I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors … in the sight of the nations*], for He will do [good] to them because of His Great Name, so that it be not profaned among the nations, but not for their sake, since they have not repented, and [thus] their iniquities have not been forgiven. And so did our Rabbis say: “*I will not reject them* in the days of Vespasian. *Neither will I abhor them* in the days of Greece. [*Neither will I abhor them*] *to destroy them utterly, and to break My covenant with them* in the days of Haman. *For I am the Eternal their G-d* in the days of Gog and Magog.”
