Leviticus 26:46 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 26:46

These [are] the statutes, and judgments, and laws
Which refer not only to those in this chapter, but in all the preceding chapters in this book, and respect them all, whether ceremonial, moral, or judicial, which may be signified by these three words:

which the Lord made between him and the children of Israel;
the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan are,

``between his Word and the children of Israel:''

in Mount Sinai;
or near it, in the wilderness of it, while the children of Israel lay encamped about it:

by the hand of Moses;
they were first delivered to him, and by means of him to the people.

Leviticus 26:46 In-Context

44 nevertheless, yea, when they were in the land of (their) enemies, I casted not them away utterly (I did not utterly throw them away), neither I despised them, so that they were wasted, and that I made void my covenant with them; for I am the Lord God of them.
45 And I shall have mind of my former bond of peace (And I shall remember my covenant with their ancestors), when I led them out of the land of Egypt, in the sight of heathen men, that I should be their God; I am the Lord God.
46 These be the behests, and dooms, and laws, which the Lord gave betwixt himself and the sons of Israel, in the hill of Sinai, by the hand of Moses. (These be the commands, and judgements, and laws, which the Lord gave between himself and the Israelites, on Mount Sinai, through Moses.)
