Leviticus 26:6 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 26:1-13

Here is, I. The inculcating of those precepts of the law which were of the greatest consequence, and by which were of the greatest consequence, and by which especially their obedience would be tried, Lev. 26:1, 2. They are the abstract of the second and fourth commandments, which, as they are by much the largest in the decalogue, so they are most frequently insisted on in other parts of the law. As, when a master has given many things in charge to his servant, he concludes with the repetition... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 26:6

And I will give peace in the land ,.... Among yourselves, as Aben Ezra; that as safety from enemies is promised before, here it is assured they should be free from insurrections and from riots, broils, contentions, and civil wars among themselves: and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid ; that is, lie down upon their beds, and sleep quietly and comfortably, and not be in any fear of thieves and robbers breaking in upon them, Psalm 3:5 , and I will rid evil beasts out... read more

The blessedness of the righteous. In the words before us we have— I. THE QUALITIES OF THE RIGHTEOUS DESCRIBED . These are: 1 . That they worship the true God. 2 . That they worship him truly. 3 .

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 26:1-46

PART V. CONCLUDING EXHORTATION . 1 . The blessings. which should result from obedience ( Leviticus 26:3-13 ). 2 . The curses which should follow disobedience ( Leviticus 26:14-39 ). 3 . The gracious treatment which would ensue on repentance ( Leviticus 26:40-45 ). Hitherto the Book of Leviticus has consisted of ceremonial and moral injunctions, with two historical passages interposed. In the present chapter it rises in its subject and its diction from legal... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 26:1-46

Temporal rewards and punishments. cf. Ecclesiastes 8:11 ; Isaiah 48:18 ; Matthew 5:44 , Matthew 5:45 ; and 1 Timothy 4:8 . There is in this chapter a distinct assertion of moral government exercised over Israel. If they obeyed God's Law, he would grant them great temporal blessing; if they disobeyed, he would send them sore chastisement; but if after disobedience they became penitent, he would remember their fathers and his covenant with them, and receive their penitent seed into... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 26:3-8

Obedience and prosperity. The connection between godly conduct and material good may not seem to us so close or so clearly discernible as that which is promised in these verses. Still, the heart of the promise remains, and instances have never been wanting to prove that "godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come." The prophecy of Amos ( Amos 9:13 )—evidently founded on this passage of the Law—refers to gospel times, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 26:3-13

Incentives to obedience. Religion has the first claim upon us as the supreme obligation of the soul. We are hound to worship and honour God because we owe far more to him than to all other beings in the universe. The first and all-sufficient reason why we should "worship and bow down" before him, is in the fact that "he is our God"—that One from whom we come, in whom we live, from whom cometh down every good gift. But God condescends to urge us to obedience by presenting incentives to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 26:3-39

Promises and threatenings. Leviticus 26:12 , "And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people." I. The true law of human life. 1 . Religion the upholding support of individual, social, national well-being. Natural laws subservient to higher ends. Ascending scale in the universe, the physical the basis of the psychical, the psychical of the moral, the moral of the spiritual. 2 . The covenant relationship of God and man the only true form in which the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 26:3-46

Promises and threatenings. In this chapter the prophet looks forward, and declares how God would deal with his people; which should be according to the way in which they should act. In 2 Chronicles 36:14-21 , the chronicler looks back, and shows how God had dealt with them; which had been according to the way in which they had acted. The promises and the threatenings are to the nation, not to individuals; and the prophetical assurance is that national obedience to God shall bring about... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 26:4-6

These verses appear to have been in the mind, not of Joel only, as already pointed out, but of Ezekiel ( Ezekiel 34:20-31 ). In Leviticus we find, Then I will give you rain in due season; in Ezekiel, "And I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.'' In Leviticus, And the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit; in Ezekiel, "And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth her increase."... read more
