How in the name of all that's good and pure is that not exile?! He wasn't asked to make a living somewhere else, he was "forced to make a living" somewhere else. Hey, genius, that's exile! Far from being voluntary, exile normally involves being "forced to make a living elsewhere," forced being the operative word. Geez Louise!
