Levítico 26:6 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 26:6

And I will give peace in the land
Among yourselves, as Aben Ezra; that as safety from enemies is promised before, here it is assured they should be free from insurrections and from riots, broils, contentions, and civil wars among themselves: and ye shall lie down, and none shall make [you] afraid;
that is, lie down upon their beds, and sleep quietly and comfortably, and not be in any fear of thieves and robbers breaking in upon them, ( Psalms 3:5 ) ( 4:8 ) ; and I will rid evil beasts out of the land:
out of the land of Israel, as the Targum of Jonathan, not out of the world, such as lions, bears, wolves which were sometimes troublesome and mischievous in the land: neither shall the sword go through your land;
either the sword of the enemy, which if it entered should not be suffered to proceed, much less to pervade the land and destroy the inhabitants of it: so the Targum of Jonathan,

``they that draw the sword shall not pass through your land,''

or the sword of the Lord, that is, the pestilence, ( 1 Chronicles 21:12 ) ; as Ainsworth suggests; though the Jews ^F11 commonly understand it of the sword of peace, as they call it, though that is of one that is not an enemy, but passes through one country to destroy another; which yet is distressing to the country he passes through, as in the case of Pharaoh Necho, whom Josiah went out to meet, ( 2 Chronicles 35:20 ) ; though, by what follows, it seems rather to be the first of these.

Levítico 26:6 In-Context

4 les enviaré las lluvias de temporada. Entonces la tierra les dará sus cosechas y los árboles del campo producirán su fruto.

5 La temporada de la trilla continuará aun después del comienzo de la cosecha de la uva, y la cosecha de la uva continuará aun después de la temporada de la siembra del grano. Comerán hasta saciarse y vivirán en seguridad dentro de su tierra.

6 »Les daré paz en la tierra y podrán dormir sin temor alguno. Libraré la tierra de animales salvajes y mantendré a sus enemigos fuera del país.

7 De hecho, perseguirán a sus enemigos y los masacrarán a filo de espada.

8 ¡Cinco de ustedes perseguirán a cien, y cien de ustedes perseguirán a diez mil! Todos sus enemigos caerán bajo su espada.
