Levítico 26:36

36 »En cuanto a los que sobrevivan, tan profundo será el temor que les infundiré en tierra de sus enemigos, que hasta el susurro de una hoja movida por el viento los pondrá en fuga. Correrán como quien huye de la espada, y caerán sin que nadie los persiga.

Levítico 26:36 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 26:36

And upon them that are left [alive] of you
In the land of Judea, or rather scattered about among the nations, suggesting that these would be comparatively few: I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their
enemies;
or "a softness" ^F25; so that they should be effeminate, pusillanimous, and cowardly, have nothing of a manly spirit and courage in them; but be mean spirited and faint hearted, as the Jews are noted to be at this day, as Bishop Patrick observes; who also adds,

``it being scarce ever heard, that a Jew listed himself for a soldier, or engaged in the defence of his country where he lives:''

and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them;
either the sound of a leaf that falls from the tree, as the Targum of Jonathan, or which the wind beats one against another, as Jarchi, which makes some little noise; even this should terrify them, taking it to be the noise of some enemy near at hand, just ready to fall on them; such poor faint hearted creatures should they be; and they shall flee as fleeing from the sword;
as if there were an army of soldiers with their swords drawn pursuing them: and they shall fall when none pursueth;
fall upon the ground, and into a fit, and drop down as if dead, as if they had been really wounded with a sword and slain, see ( Proverbs 28:1 ) .

Levítico 26:36 In-Context

34 Entonces la tierra disfrutará de sus años sabáticos todo el tiempo que permanezca desolada, mientras ustedes vivan en el país de sus enemigos. Así la tierra descansará y disfrutará de sus sábados.

35 Mientras la tierra esté desolada, tendrá el descanso que no tuvo durante los años sabáticos en que ustedes la habitaron.

36 »En cuanto a los que sobrevivan, tan profundo será el temor que les infundiré en tierra de sus enemigos, que hasta el susurro de una hoja movida por el viento los pondrá en fuga. Correrán como quien huye de la espada, y caerán sin que nadie los persiga.

37 Como si huyeran de la espada, tropezarán unos con otros sin que nadie los persiga, y no podrán hacerles frente a sus enemigos.

38 Perecerán en medio de las naciones; el país de sus enemigos los devorará.
