Discovery BoxLeviticus 26:16 
Context26:16 I for my part 1 will do this to you: I will inflict horror on you, consumption and fever, which diminish eyesight and drain away the vitality of life. 2 You will sow your seed in vain because 3 your enemies will eat it. 4
Leviticus 26:36
Context26:36 “‘As for 5 the ones who remain among you, I will bring despair into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a blowing leaf will pursue them, and they will flee as one who flees the sword and fall down even though there is no pursuer.
Leviticus 26:44
Context26:44 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.
1 tn Or “I also” (see HALOT 76 s.v. אַף 6.b).
2 tn Heb “soul.” These expressions may refer either to the physical effects of consumption and fever as the rendering in the text suggests (e.g., J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 452, 454, “diminishing eyesight and loss of appetite”), or perhaps the more psychological effects, “which exhausts the eyes” because of anxious hope “and causes depression” (Heb “causes soul [נֶפֶשׁ, nefesh] to pine away”), e.g., B. A. Levine, Leviticus (JPSTC), 185.
3 tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have causal force here.
4 tn That is, “your enemies will eat” the produce that grows from the sown seed.
5 tn Heb “And.”
