Leviticus 26:27 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Book Notes

Leviticus 26:27

25 And ^aI will bring a sword against you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant;
when you are gathered together within your cities ^bI will send pestilence among you;
and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

26 ^aWhen I have cut off your supply of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall bring back your bread by weight, ^band you shall eat and not be satisfied.

27 ‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me, but walk contrary to Me,

28 then I also will walk contrary to you in fury;
and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

29 ^aYou¹ shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters.

30 ^aI will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and cast your carcasses on the lifeless forms of your idols;
and My soul shall abhor you.

31 I will lay your ^acities waste and ^bbring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not ^csmell the fragrance of your sweet aromas.

32 ^aI will bring the land to desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.

33 ^aI will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you;
your land shall be desolate and your cities waste.

34 ^aThen the land shall enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land;
then the land shall rest and enjoy its sabbaths.

35 As long as it lies desolate it shall rest—
for the time it did not rest on your ^asabbaths when you dwelt in it.

36 ‘And as for those of you who are left, I will send ^afaintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies;
the sound of a shaken leaf shall cause them to flee;
they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall when no one pursues.

37 ^aThey shall stumble over one another, as it were before a sword, when no one pursues;
and ^byou shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

Leviticus

LEVITICUS. So called from its treating of the laws relating to the ritual, the services, and sacrifices of the Jewish religion, the superintendence of which was entrusted to the Levitical priesthood. It is chiefly, however, the duties of the priests, "the sons of Aaron," which this book describes; and its claim to be the work of Moses is established by the following passages:— II Chronicles 30:16; Nehemiah 8:14; Jeremiah 7:22-23; Ezekiel 20:11 Matthew 8:4; Luke 2:22; John 8:5; Romans 10:4; Romans 13:9; II Corinthians 6:16; Galatians 3:12; I Peter 1:16.
