Leviticus 26:41-43
New English Translation
41 (and I myself will walk in hostility against them and bring them into the land of their enemies), and[a] then their uncircumcised hearts become humbled and they make up for[b] their iniquities, 42 I will remember my covenant with Jacob and also my covenant with Isaac and also my covenant with Abraham,[c] and I will remember the land. 43 The land will be abandoned by them[d] in order that it may make up for[e] its Sabbaths while it is made desolate[f] without them,[g] and they will make up for their iniquity because[h] they have rejected my regulations and have abhorred[i] my statutes.

- Leviticus 26:41 tn Heb “or then,” although the LXX has “then” and the Syriac “and then.”
- Leviticus 26:41 tn Heb “and then they make up for.” On the verb “make up for” see the note on v. 34 above.
- Leviticus 26:42 tn Heb “my covenant with Abraham I will remember.” The phrase “I will remember” has not been repeated in the translation for stylistic reasons.
- Leviticus 26:43 tn Heb “from them.” The preposition “from” refers here to the agent of the action (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 455).
- Leviticus 26:43 tn The jussive form of the verb with the simple vav (ו) here calls for a translation that expresses purpose.
- Leviticus 26:43 tn The verb is the Hophal infinitive construct with the third feminine singular suffix (GKC 182 §67.y; cf. v. 34).
- Leviticus 26:43 tn Heb “from them.”
- Leviticus 26:43 tn Heb “because and in because,” a double expression, which is used only here and in Ezek 13:10 (without the vav) for emphasis (GKC 492 §158.b).
- Leviticus 26:43 tn Heb “and their soul has abhorred.”
Leviticus 26:41-43
New International Version
41 which made me hostile(A) toward them so that I sent them into the land of their enemies—then when their uncircumcised hearts(B) are humbled(C) and they pay(D) for their sin, 42 I will remember my covenant with Jacob(E) and my covenant with Isaac(F) and my covenant with Abraham,(G) and I will remember the land. 43 For the land will be deserted(H) by them and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. They will pay for their sins because they rejected(I) my laws and abhorred my decrees.(J)
