THE PROMISED RESTORATIONLeviticus 26:40-45"And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against Me, and also that because they have walked contrary unto Me, I also walked contrary unto them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity; then will I remember My covenant with Jacob; and also My covenant with Isaac, and also... 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

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

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.

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 26:43-46

Reader! do not overlook the original cause of all mercies; namely, the faithfulness of a covenant GOD in CHRIST: not for the value or merit of repentance; not even our misery, or in short anything in ourselves; but all in and through CHRIST in GOD. See Ezekiel 36:32 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 26:40-46

40-46 Among the Israelites, persons were not always prosperous or afflicted according to their obedience or disobedience. But national prosperity was the effect of national obedience, and national judgments were brought on by national wickedness. Israel was under a peculiar covenant. National wickedness will end in the ruin of any people, especially where the word of God and the light of the gospel are enjoyed. Sooner or later, sin will be the ruin, as well as the reproach, of every people. Oh... 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

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Leviticus 26:21-46

Desolation and Captivity for the Stubborn Leviticus 26:21-46 Notwithstanding the solemn and appalling pictures placed before Israel in these verses, they forsook the Lord and served other gods. Thus, they brought upon themselves the sore judgments threatened against them, consisting of defeat, scarcity, wild beasts, pestilence and famine, the horrors of siege and desolation, followed by dispersion to the four winds of heaven. The book of Judges illustrates the first, and the destruction of... read more
