Levítico 26:45 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 26:45

But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their
ancestors
Or rather, "remember to them" ^F7, to their good and benefit, for their profit and advantage, not for their desert and merit, for any worth or worthiness in them; this covenant respects not the covenant made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as in ( Leviticus 26:42 ) ; but with their fathers, either at Sinai, or rather in the plains of Moab, ( Deuteronomy 29:1 ) , for it follows:

whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the
Heathen, that I might be their God;
whom he brought out of great bondage and distress in Egypt, with an high hand and outstretched arm, and in the sight of the Egyptians, who were not able to oppose it, yea, because of their plagues, were urgent for it; and in the sight of all the nations round about, who heard of the wonderful power of God in the deliverance of his people; and this he did that he might appear to be their covenant God, who had taken them into covenant with him, and had taken them under his care and protection, and would be still their King and their God; and who also, in like manner, it may be here suggested, would deliver the people of the Jews out of their present exiled and captive state and condition in the sight of the whole world, and declare himself their covenant God and Father:

I [am] the Lord;
whose will is sovereign, whose power is uncontrollable, who is a covenant keeping God, faithful to his promises, and able to perform them.

Levítico 26:45 In-Context

43 Al abandonar ellos la tierra, esta disfrutará de sus sábados mientras permanezca deshabitada. Pero tendrán que reconocer sus pecados, por cuanto rechazaron mis preceptos y aborrecieron mis estatutos.

44 »A pesar de todo, y aunque estén en la tierra de sus enemigos, no los rechazaré ni los aborreceré hasta el punto de exterminarlos, ni romperé tampoco mi pacto con ellos. Yo soy el SEÑOR su Dios.

45 Antes bien, recordaré en su favor el pacto que hice con sus antepasados, a quienes, a la vista de las naciones, saqué de Egipto para ser su Dios. Yo soy el SEÑOR».

46 Estos son los estatutos, preceptos y leyes que, por medio de Moisés, estableció el SEÑOR en el monte Sinaí entre él y los israelitas.
