Levítico 26:40-42

40 "Si confiesan su iniquidad y la iniquidad de sus antepasados, por las infidelidades que cometieron contra mí, y también porque procedieron con hostilidad contra mí

41 (yo también procedía con hostilidad contra ellos para llevarlos a la tierra de sus enemigos), o si su corazón incircunciso se humilla, y reconocen sus iniquidades,

42 entonces yo me acordaré de mi pacto con Jacob, me acordaré también de mi pacto con Isaac y de mi pacto con Abraham, y me acordaré de la tierra.

Levítico 26:40-42 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO LEVITICUS 26

In this chapter, after a repetition of some laws against idolatry, and concerning keeping sabbaths, and reverencing the sanctuary of God, Le 26:1,2; in order to encourage the Israelites to keep the various statutes and commandments in this book, and in the preceding, many promises are made of plenty, and peace, and safety from enemies, and of the presence of God with them, Le 26:3-13; and on the contrary, to such as should despise and break his commandments, the most grievous things are threatened, as diseases of body, destruction by their enemies, barrenness and unfruitfulness of land, the sore judgments of wild beasts, famine, sword, and pestilence, Le 26:14-39; and yet after all, when they should confess their sins, and were humbled for them, the Lord promises to remember the covenant he made with their ancestors, and would deal kindly with them, and not cast them away, and utterly destroy them, Le 26:40-46.
