in revealing
To uncover, remove a covering from, or lay bare.

In contexts relating to exile or captivity, refers to being removed or 'stripped' from one's land, often with the sense of exposure or shame. The semantic range encompasses physical stripping or uncovering, the act of disclosing or revealing, and the removal or deportation of people (especially in times of conquest).
