A CURSE TO THE DISOBEDIENT. (Lev. 26:14-39)
But if ye will not hearken unto me, &c.--In proportion to the great and manifold privileges bestowed upon the Israelites would be the extent of their national criminality and the severity of their national punishments if they disobeyed. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| The Curse for Contempt of the Law. - The following judgments are threatened, not for single breaches of the law, but for contempt of all the laws, amounting to inward contempt of the divine commandments and a breach of the covenant (Lev 26:14, Lev 26:15), - for presumptuous and obstinate rebellion, therefore, against God and His commandments. For this, severe judgments are announced, which were to be carried to their uttermost in a fourfold series, if the hardening were obstinately continued. If Israel acted in opposition to the Lord in the manner stated, He would act towards them as follows (Lev 26:16, Lev 26:17): He would appoint over them בּחלה terror, - a general notion, which is afterwards particularized as consisting of diseases, sowing without enjoying the fruit, defeat in war, and flight before their enemies. Two kinds of disease are mentioned by which life is destroyed: consumption and burning, i.e., burning fever, πυρετός, febris, which cause the eyes (the light of this life) to disappear, and the soul (the life itself) to pine away; whereas in Exo 23:25; Exo 15:26, preservation from diseases is promised for obedience to the law. Of these diseases, consumption is at present very rare in Palestine and Syria, though it occurs in more elevated regions; but burning fever is one of the standing diseases. To these there would be added the invasion of the land by enemies, so that they would labour in vain and sow their seed to no purpose, for their enemies would consume the produce, as actually was the case (e.g., Jdg 6:3-4). |
3 And so it was, when Israel [03478] had sown [02232], that the Midianites [04080] came up [05927], and the Amalekites [06002], and the children [01121] of the east [06924], even they came up [05927] against them;
4 And they encamped [02583] against them, and destroyed [07843] the increase [02981] of the earth [0776], till thou come [0935] unto Gaza [05804], and left [07604] no sustenance [04241] for Israel [03478], neither sheep [07716], nor ox [07794], nor ass [02543].
26 And said [0559], If thou wilt diligently [08085] hearken [08085] to the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and wilt do [06213] that which is right [03477] in his sight [05869], and wilt give ear [0238] to his commandments [04687], and keep [08104] all his statutes [02706], I will put [07760] none of these diseases [04245] upon thee, which I have brought [07760] upon the Egyptians [04714]: for I am the LORD [03068] that healeth [07495] thee.
25 And ye shall serve [05647] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and he shall bless [01288] thy bread [03899], and thy water [04325]; and I will take [05493] sickness [04245] away [05493] from the midst [07130] of thee.
17 And I will set [05414] my face [06440] against you, and ye shall be slain [05062] before [06440] your enemies [0341]: they that hate [08130] you shall reign [07287] over you; and ye shall flee [05127] when none pursueth [07291] you.
16 I also will do [06213] this unto you; I will even appoint [06485] over you terror [0928], consumption [07829], and the burning ague [06920], that shall consume [03615] the eyes [05869], and cause sorrow [01727] of heart [05315]: and ye shall sow [02232] your seed [02233] in vain [07385], for your enemies [0341] shall eat [0398] it.
15 And if ye shall despise [03988] my statutes [02708], or if your soul [05315] abhor [01602] my judgments [04941], so that ye will not do [06213] all my commandments [04687], but that ye break [06565] my covenant [01285]:
14 But if ye will not hearken [08085] unto me, and will not do [06213] all these commandments [04687];
