Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 26:1-46

THE PROMISES AND THREATS OF THE COVENANTLeviticus 26:1-46ONE would have expected that this chapter would have been the last in the book of Leviticus, for it forms a natural and fitting close to the whole law as hitherto recorded. But whatever may have been the reason of its present literary form, the fact remains that while this chapter is, in outward form, the conclusion of the Levitical law, another chapter follows it in the manner of an appendix.Chapter 26 opens with these words (Leviticus... read more

THE PROMISES OF THE COVENANTLeviticus 26:3-13"If ye walk in My statutes, and keep My commandments, and do them; then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make... 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

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'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

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Leviticus 26:13

"Handfuls of Purpose" For All Gleaners "I have broken the bounds of your yoke, and made you go upright." Lev 26:13 God will have no slavery of a social kind. He is against all bonds and restrictions that keep down the true aspirations of the human soul. God has always proceeded upon the principle of enlargement and the inheritance of liberty. We know how much God has done for a man by the degree of that man's uprightness. That is an excellent and undeniable standard of judgment. God has no... read more
