Leviticus 26:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Leviticus 26:1

Promise of Blessing and Retribution

1 ‘You shall ^anot make idols for yourselves;
neither a carved image nor a sacred pillar shall you rear up for yourselves;
nor shall you set up an engraved stone in your land, to bow down to it;
for I am the Lord your God.

2 ^aYou shall¹ keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary:
I am the Lord.

3 ^a‘If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them,

4 ^athen I will give you rain in its season, ^bthe land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

5 ^aYour threshing shall last till the time of vintage, and the vintage shall last till the time of sowing;
you shall eat your bread to the full, and ^bdwell in your land safely.

6 ^aI will give peace in the land, and ^byou shall lie down, and none will make you afraid;
I will rid the land of ^cevil beasts,
and ^dthe sword will not go through your land.

7 You will chase your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before you.

8 ^aFive of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight;
your enemies shall fall by the sword before you.

9 ‘For I will ^alook on you favorably and ^bmake you fruitful, multiply you and confirm My ^ccovenant with you.

10 You shall eat the ^aold harvest, and clear out the old because of the new.

11 ^aI will set My¹ tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor you.

12 ^aI will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people.

13 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves;
I have broken the bands of your ^ayoke and made you walk upright.

14 ‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments,

15 and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant,
