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

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 26:1-46

In these brief repetitions of laws two gracious promises and solemn warnings were set forth. The laws reiterated were fundamental. There must be no idolatry. There must be perpetual observance of the Sabbath and a constant reverence in the sanctuary. The great promises show how conditions of well-being are ever entirely dependent on obedience to the government of God. In like manner the warnings show that disobedience will always be followed with calamity. It is most instructive in the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 26:40

HUMAN AND DIVINE REMEMBRANCE‘If they shall confess … then will I remember.’ Leviticus 26:40; Leviticus 26:42 I. When I remember my sin and confess it, God remembers His covenant and returns to me.Yes, even to me. I say, in my despair, that there are peculiarities in my case which make it exceptional, terrible aggravations in my guilt and evil. Let it be so. Let it be that I am the chief of sinners. My sin does not outrun His mercy, and is not so large as His grace. Its blackness, its... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 26:39-46

But Repentance Will Bring Mercy. God’s Mercy Is Unfailing (Leviticus 26:39-46 ). Compare here Deuteronomy 30:1-6. God’s judgments are in the earth that men might learn righteousness (Isaiah 26:9) His mercy is always thus open to those who repent (compare especially Jonah 3:1-10). Leviticus 26:39-41 a “And those who 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 them. And they shall confess their... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 26:40-45

Leviticus 26:40-Romans : . Confession and Restoration.— The order of thought is— confession by the exiles of the sin of their own and of previous generations, Yahweh’ s memory of His ancient covenant, and His (implied) deliverance of His people. The order is simplified if Leviticus 26:41-John : is regarded as an insertion; “ if” ( Leviticus 26:41), which should be translated “ or,” suggests this. The double mention of the covenant (note the order of the names in Leviticus 26:42), and the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 26:40

If they shall confess, Heb. And they shall confess, where our translation and many others understand the particle if, which is also wanting and understood, Exodus 4:23; Malachi 1:2; Malachi 3:8. So here, And if they shall confess, &c. But there seems no necessity of any such supplement, but these and the following words may be taken as they lie in their plain and proper signification, to this purpose, Leviticus 26:40, And through the heaviness and extraordinariness of their affliction,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Leviticus 26:1-46

Religion as determining a Nation’s DestinySUGGESTIVE READINGSLeviticus 26:1-13.—If ye walk in My statutes, etc. The Lord engaged to enrich them as a nation with temporal blessings and religious advantages, if, and so long as, Israel maintained allegiance to God’s worship and statutes, His Sabbaths and sanctuary. He crowns the enumeration of favours relating to this life with higher assurance that He would dwell among them in all the spiritual nearness ensured by His “covenant.” Our fidelity to... read more

DISCOURSE: 143GOD’S PROMISES TO PENITENTSLeviticus 26:40-42. If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, end that also they have walked contrary unto me: and that I also hare walked contrary unto them, and hare brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity; then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Leviticus 26:1-46

Chapter 26Chapter twenty-six again God establishes the fact that they are to worship Him.They are not to have idols, or graven images, or standing images, set up any image in the land to bow down to it: for I am the Lord your God.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 26:1-46

Leviticus 26:1. Neither set up any image of stone, any large sightly stone. The druids were apt to bring or roll large stones from afar, as at Stone-henge, at Shap in Westmoreland; at Stanton Drew, near Bristol; and at Abury, Wilts. These were ancient temples, approached by serpentine walks, and seats of idolatry of Sabian origin. Leviticus 26:8. Ten thousand, or a multitude shall be put to flight. This was done by Gideon; also by Jonathan and his armour bearer. 1 Samuel 14:0; 1 Samuel... read more
