Leviticus 26:3-4

Context
The Benefits of Obedience

26:3 “‘If you walk in my statutes and are sure to obey my commandments, 1  26:4 I will give you your rains in their time so that 2  the land will give its yield and the trees of the field will produce their fruit. 3 

1 tn Heb “and my commandments you shall keep and do them.” This appears to be a kind of verbal hendiadys, where the first verb is a modifier of the action of the second verb (see GKC 386 §120.d, although שָׁמַר [shamar, “to keep”] is not cited there; cf. Lev 20:8; 25:18, etc.).

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

3 tn Heb “the tree of the field will give its fruit.” As a collective singular this has been translated as plural.
