Rashi, on Neh 1:9

“But if you return to me, and keep my commandments, and do them, though you should be led away to the uttermost parts of the world, I will gather you from thence, and bring you back to the place which I have chosen for my name to dwell there.”

“if your exile is like the matter that is stated (Deut. 30:4): “If your exile is at the end of the heavens, etc.””
