Leviticus 26:44-45
26:44 In spite of this, however, when they are in the land of their enemies I will not reject them and abhor them to make a complete end of them, to break my covenant with them, for I am the Lord their God.
26:45 I will remember for them the covenant with their ancestors 6 whom I brought out from the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations to be their God. I am the Lord.’”
1 tn Heb “cause to arise,” but probably used here for the Lord’s intention of confirming or maintaining the covenant commitment made at Sinai. Cf. KJV “establish”; NASB “will confirm”; NAB “carry out”; NIV “will keep.”
2 tn Heb “to not do.”
3 tn Heb “vengeance of covenant”; cf. NAB “the avenger of my covenant.”
4 tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) has a concessive force in this context.
5 tn Heb “in hand of enemy,” but Tg. Ps.-J. and Tg. Neof. have “in the hands of your enemies” (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 454).
6 tn Heb “covenant of former ones.”
sn For similar expressions referring back to the ancestors who refused to follow the stipulations of the Mosaic covenant see, for example, Deut 19:14, Jer 11:10, and Ps 79:8 (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 192, and J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 471).
