Leviticus 26:8

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

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

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 26:1-13

1-13 This chapter contains a general enforcement of all the laws given by Moses; by promises of reward in case of obedience, on the one hand; and threatenings of punishment for disobedience, on the other. While Israel maintained a national regard to God's worship, sabbaths, and sanctuary, and did not turn aside to idolatry, the Lord engaged to continue to them temporal mercies and religious advantages. These great and precious promises, though they relate chiefly to the life which now is, were... read more

Blessings Promised to the Obedient v. 1. Ye shall make you no idols, literally, nothingnesses, vain, empty deities of your own imagination, nor graven image, one carved or chiseled from wood and stone, neither rear you up a standing image, a pillar of commemoration used for idolatrous purposes; neither shall ye set up any image of stone, a stone shaped or hewn to represent some real or imagined creature, in your land to bow down unto it; for I am the Lord, your God. v. 2.

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Leviticus 26:1-20

Results of Obedience and Disobedience Leviticus 26:1-20 There is a vast contrast between the ideal life of the first thirteen verses of this chapter and the remainder; just the distinction which God ever makes between a life of obedience and faith, and one of disobedience and disbelief. In our inner life we also may have that blessed rain of spiritual grace; the fruit-fullness and the peace, the safety and the victory, the old store reaching to the new, the breaking of our bars and the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

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
