利未記 26:40-46 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 26:40-46

Here the chapter concludes with gracious promises of the return of God's favour to them upon their repentance, that they might not (unless it were their own fault) pine away in their iniquity. Behold, with wonder, the riches of God's mercy to a people that had obstinately stood it out against the judgments of God, and would never think of surrendering till they were reduced to the last extremity. Yet turn to strong-hold, you prisoners of hope, Zech. 9:12. As bad as things are, they may be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 26:40

If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers ,.... The Targum of Jonathan adds,"in the time of their distress;'which might serve to bring their sins to remembrance, and them to a confession of them, not only of their own sins, but of their fathers' also; acknowledging thereby that they had been guilty of sinning against God for a long course of years past; and that God had been long suffering towards them, and bore much with them before he brought his judgments on... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 26:41

And that I also have walked contrary unto them ,.... Showed no regard unto them, as if he took no care of them, or in a providential way concerned himself for them, but let what would befall them; yea, came out in the way of his judgments against them, as if he was an enemy to them; see Gill on Leviticus 26:24 , and have brought them into the land of their enemies ; should acknowledge the hand of God in it, that he himself brought them out of their own country into an enemy's land,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 26:42

Then i will also remember my covenant with Jacob ,.... Would fulfil and make good all that he had promised in covenant with Jacob, and his posterity: the account begins with him, and rises upwards to Abraham, whereas it usually begins with Abraham, and descends to Jacob; no sufficient reason is given for this alteration, though several are attempted by the Jewish writers F5 Saadiah Gaon apud Aben Ezram in loc. Pesikta & alii. : and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 26:43

The land also shall be left of them ,.... This seems to refer to a second time, when this should be the case of the land of Judea again, as it was when subdued by the Romans, and the Jews were carried captive from it, and so it was left by them, as it has been ever since: and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while lieth desolate without them ; shall be as in the sabbatical years, uncultivated, neither ploughed nor sown, nor reaped; and thus the land of Canaan, though once so very fruitful, is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 26:44

And yet for all that ,.... I will have on them, in or through my Word, as the Targum of Jonathan; notwithstanding their many and great sins and transgressions, and the sad and miserable condition they were brought into by them, the Lord would have mercy on them and be gracious to them, through Christ and for his sake, and convert and save them, see Romans 11:26 ; the Jews, as Fagius tells us, wonderfully delight themselves with this passage, and read it with the greatest joy and pleasure,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 26:45

But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors ,.... Or rather, "remember to them" F7 וזכרתי להם "et recordabor eis", Pagninus, Montanus, Drusius; "erga eos", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. , to their good and benefit, for their profit and advantage, not for their desert and merit, for any worth or worthiness in them; this covenant respects not the covenant made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as in Leviticus 26:42 ; but with their fathers, either at... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 26:46

These are the statutes, and judgments, and laws ,.... Which refer not only to those in this chapter, but in all the preceding chapters in this book, and respect them all, whether ceremonial, moral, or judicial, which may be signified by these three words: which the Lord made between him and the children of Israel ; the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan are,"between his Word and the children of Israel:" in Mount Sinai ; or near it, in the wilderness of it, while the children of Israel... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 26:44

Neither will I abhor them to destroy them utterly - Though God has literally fulfilled all his threatenings upon this people in dispossessing them of their land, destroying their polity, overturning their city, demolishing their temple, and scattering themselves over the face of the whole earth; yet he has, in his providence, strangely preserved them as a distinct people, and in very considerable numbers also. He still remembers the covenant of their ancestors, and in his providence and... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 26:46

These are the statutes, and judgments, etc. - See on Leviticus 26:15 ; (note). This verse appears to be the proper concluding verse of the whole book; and I rather think that the 27th chapter originally followed the 25th. As the law was anciently written upon skins of parchment, sheep or goat skins, pasted or stitched together, and all rolled up in one roll, the matter being written in columns, one of those columns might have been very easily displaced, and thus whole chapters might have... read more
