Leviticus 26:34 - Forerunner Commentary

Leviticus 26:34

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.

38 You shall ^aperish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

39 And those of you who are left ^ashall waste away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands;
also in their ^bfathers’ iniquities, which are with them, they shall waste away.

40 ‘But ^aif they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me,

41 and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies;
if their ^auncircumcised hearts are ^bhumbled, and they ^caccept their guilt—

Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Leviticus 26:34:

Leviticus 26:21-41

Any word repeated exactly seven times in a passage is the crucial word in that section. Leviticus 26 contains horrifying details of the consequences when God’s covenant with Israel is shattered. In Leviticus 26:21-41, the word repeated seven times is keri. It means casual, random and mindless. These verses indicate that of all the damaging results of relating to God with unthinking casualness, the worst is that He subsequently relates to us in exactly the same way. This is the principle of reciprocity!
