Leviticus 26:6

26:6 I will grant peace in the land so that you will lie down to sleep without anyone terrifying you. I will remove harmful animals from the land, and no sword of war will pass through your land.

Leviticus 26:34

26:34 “‘Then the land will make up for its Sabbaths all the days it lies desolate while you are in the land of your enemies; then the land will rest and make up its Sabbaths.


tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.

tn Heb “and there will be no one who terrifies.” The words “to sleep” have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

tn Heb “harmful animal,” singular, but taken here as a collective plural (so almost all English versions).

tn Heb “no sword”; the words “of war” are supplied in the translation to indicate what the metaphor of the sword represents.

tn There are two Hebrew roots רָצָה (ratsah), one meaning “to be pleased with; to take pleasure” (HALOT 1280-81 s.v. רצה; cf. “enjoy” in NASB, NIV, NRSV, and J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 452), and the other meaning “to restore” (HALOT 1281-82 s.v. II רצה; cf. NAB “retrieve” and B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 189).
