Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 26:14-46

"THE VENGEANCE OF THE COVENANT"Leviticus 26:14-46"But if ye will not hearken unto Me, and will not do all these commandments; and if ye shall reject My statutes, and if your soul abhor My judgments, so that ye will not do all My commandments, but break My covenant; I also will do this unto you; I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. And I will set... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Leviticus 26:1-46

5. The Blessing, the Curse and Israel’s History CHAPTER 26 1. Obedience and the blessings (Leviticus 26:1-13 ) 2. Disobedience and the curse (Leviticus 26:14-39 ) 3. The restoration (Leviticus 26:40-46 ) This great chapter is very fitting for the close of this book. We have no types here, but direct utterances of Jehovah. Israel’s history and their future restoration is here predicted. He reminds them that He brought them out of the land of Egypt; they are His people. Therefore He wants... read more

26:39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with {t} them.(t) In that, as they are blameworthy of their fathers faults, they shall be punished as well as their fathers. read more

L.M. Grant

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 26:1-46

This chapter is more or less a summary of the moral lessons of the book of Leviticus, a chapter that presses home the seriousness of having to do with a God of absolute holiness and truth. It is divided into three sections, the first of which deals with THE BLESSINGS OF OBEDIENCE (vv. 1-13) Israel was given promise of marvelous blessing from God on condition of obedience to His law. Verse 1 therefore strongly insists on obedience to the first commandment, warning against idolatry in any of... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 26:1-46

THE GREAT PROPHECY This chapter opens with injunctions (Leviticus 26:1-2 ), which practically cover the first table of the law, and then follow promises of blessing in the case of obedience (Leviticus 26:3-13 ); warnings of judgment in case of disobedience (Leviticus 26:14-39 ); and a prophecy of ultimate repentance and restoration to divine favor in the latter days. THE PROMISED BLESSINGS (Leviticus 26:3-13 ) These blessings include fruitful seasons (Leviticus 26:3-5 ); internal security... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 26:27-39

Reader! still keep your mind in contemplation on the process of divine judgments. From temporal punishments the LORD proceeds to spiritual. And when it comes to this, that the sanctuary is desolate, and the LORD abhors all offerings; how ripe is that church, or that person, for destruction. Hosea 4:17 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 26:14-39

14-39 After God has set the blessing before them which would make them a happy people if they would be obedient, he here sets the curse before them, the evils which would make them miserable, if they were disobedient. Two things would bring ruin. 1. A contempt of God's commandments. They that reject the precept, will come at last to renounce the covenant. 2. A contempt of his corrections. If they will not learn obedience by the things they suffer, God himself would be against them; and this is... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Leviticus 26:34-46

The Effects of these Visitations and the Restoration of the Covenant v. 34. Then shall the land enjoy her Sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest and enjoy her Sabbaths. It is here implied that Israel, in its revolt against Jehovah and His commandments, would omit the observance of the sabbatical years, and that the land, suffering under the oppression of this greed, would feel the relief brought about by the deportation of the... read more
