John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 26:2

Ye shall keep my sabbaths ,.... The seventh day sabbaths, and the seventh year sabbaths; especially the former are meant, in which religious worship was given to the one true and living God, and therefore the observance of them is strictly enjoined; and hence this law follows closely upon the former, though Aben Ezra restrains it to the sabbatical years, or seventh year sabbaths, as he applies the sanctuary in the following clause to the jubilee year, which is said to be holy, Leviticus... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 26:3

Verse 3 ITS REPETITION 3.If ye walk in my statutes. We have now to deal with two remarkable passages, in which he professedly treats of the rewards which the servants of God may expect, and of the punishments which await the transgressors.
