Leviticus 26:33 - Forerunner Commentary

Leviticus 26:33

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.

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—

42 then I will ^aremember My covenant with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember;
I will ^bremember the land.

43 ^aThe land also shall be left empty by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them;
they will accept their guilt, because they ^bdespised My judgments and because their soul abhorred My statutes.

44 Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, ^aI will not cast them away, nor shall I abhor them, to utterly destroy them and break My covenant with them;
for I am the Lord their God.

45 But ^afor their sake I will remember the covenant of their ancestors, ^bwhom I brought out of the land of Egypt ^cin the sight of the nations, that I might be their God:
I am the Lord.’ ”

46 ^aThese are the statutes and judgments and laws which the Lord made between Himself and the children of Israel ^bon Mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
