The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 26:23-26

Punishment in its fourth degree. I will bring a sword upon yon, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant:… I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy— that is, ye shall go into captivity … and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. Cf. Ezekiel 5:12 , "A third part of thee shall die with pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 26:3-45

As “the book of the covenant” Exodus 20:22-23:33 concludes with promises and warnings Exodus 23:20-33, so does this collection of laws contained in the Book of Leviticus. But the former passage relates to the conquest of the land of promise, this one to the subsequent history of the nation. The longer similar passage in Deuteronomy Deut. 27–30 is marked by broader and deeper promises and denunciations having immediate reference not only to outward consequences, but to the spiritual death... read more

Leviticus 26:26. When I have broken the staff of your bread By sending a famine, or scarcity of bread, which is the staff and support of man’s present life. Ten women That is, ten or many families, for the women took care for the bread and food of all the family. By weight This is a sign and consequence both of a famine, and of the baking of the bread of several families together in one oven, wherein each family took care to weigh their bread, and to receive the same proportion which... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 26:1-46

Promises and warnings (26:1-46)God reminded the people to put into practice all they had been taught concerning him, his sabbaths and his sanctuary (26:1-2). Obedience would bring agricultural prosperity, social contentment, victory over enemies, and a comforting sense of God’s presence (3-13). Disobedience would bring widespread disease, defeat by enemies, drought and destruction, till they awoke to their sin and turned again to God (14-20).If the people failed to respond, God would increase... read more

broken the staff of your bread. Figure of speech Metalepsis ( App-6 ), bread being put for the support it gives, and staff which it is; and the breaking of the staff put for the cutting off the supply.

26. ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, c.—The bread used in families is usually baked by women, and at home. But sometimes also, in times of scarcity, it is baked in public ovens for want of fuel and the scarcity predicted here would be so great, that one oven would be sufficient to bake as much as ten women used in ordinary occasions to provide for family use; and even this scanty portion of bread would be distributed by weight (Ezekiel 4:16). read more

G. PROMISES AND WARNINGS ch. 26"In the ancient Near East it was customary for legal treaties to conclude with passages containing blessings upon those who observed the enactments, and curses upon those who did not. The international treaties of the second millennium BC regularly included such sections as part of the text, with the list of curses greatly outnumbering the promises of blessing. In the Old Testament this general pattern occurs in Exodus 23:25-33, Deuteronomy 28:1-68, and Joshua... read more

3. The warning for contempt of the law 26:14-33These punishments would come on the Israelites not for individual errors and sins but for a settled contempt for the whole covenant. They manifested such contempt in presumptuous and obstinate rebellion against the law (Leviticus 26:14-15)."In the curses the converse of the blessings is spelled out. It was usual in legal texts for the curses to be much fuller and longer than the blessings section (cf. Deuteronomy 28 . . .). But this disproportion... read more
