Levitikus 26:28 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 26:28

Then I will walk contrary to you also in fury
As in ( Leviticus 26:24 ) ; with this addition, in fury; being greatly provoked, and highly incensed, that no regard was had to him, neither to his commands, nor to his corrections; and therefore would be determined to stir up his wrath, and pour out the fury of his indignation on them, which must be terrible; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins;
add new and many more chastisements, and that in hot displeasure, for their sins; and the repetition or doubling of the phrase, "I, even I, will do it", denotes the certainty of it, and that he will do it himself, and his hand should be visible in it; and they should feel the weight of it, and be obliged to own that these were punishments inflicted by him for their sins.

26 Dann will ich euch den Vorrat des Brots verderben, daß zehn Weiber sollen in einem Ofen backen, und euer Brot soll man mit Gewicht auswägen, und wenn ihr esset, sollt ihr nicht satt werden. {~}
27 Werdet ihr aber dadurch mir noch nicht gehorchen und mir entgegen wandeln,
28 so will ich euch im Grimm entgegen wandeln und will euch siebenmal mehr strafen um eure Sünden,
29 daß ihr sollt eurer Söhne und Töchter Fleisch essen. {~} {~}
30 Und will eure Höhen vertilgen und eure Sonnensäulen ausrotten und will eure Leichname auf eure Götzen werfen, und meine Seele wird an euch Ekel haben.
