The Hebrew word for "walk" is "הָלַךְ" (halak), which implies a continuous, habitual action. It evokes the imagery of God walking in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve (<a href="/genesis/3-8.htm">Genesis 3:8</a>), symbolizing intimate fellowship and presence. In the ancient Near Eastern context, deities were often seen as distant and unapproachable, but here, Yahweh promises a personal and ongoing relationship with His people. This promise is a profound assurance of God's desire to be actively involved in the lives of His followers, guiding and sustaining them.<p><b>and be your God</b><br />The phrase "be your God" underscores the covenant relationship between Yahweh and Israel. The Hebrew word for "God" here is "אֱלֹהִים" (Elohim), which, while plural in form, is singular in meaning when referring to the one true God. This reflects the majesty and power of God, who is not only the Creator but also the personal deity of Israel. Historically, this covenantal promise distinguishes Israel from surrounding nations, affirming that their identity and destiny are bound up with Yahweh's faithfulness and sovereignty.<p><b>and you will be My people</b><br />This phrase completes the covenant formula, emphasizing mutual belonging. The Hebrew word for "people" is "עַם" (am), which signifies a collective identity chosen and set apart by God. This designation as "My people" is not merely a statement of possession but a declaration of purpose and mission. Israel is called to reflect God's character and to be a light to the nations (<a href="/isaiah/42-6.htm">Isaiah 42:6</a>). In the broader biblical narrative, this promise finds its ultimate fulfillment in the New Covenant, where believers in Christ are grafted into this identity as God's people (<a href="/1_peter/2-9.htm">1 Peter 2:9-10</a>).<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/26.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(12) <span class= "bld">And I will walk among you.</span>--This promise is quoted by St. Paul (<a href="/2_corinthians/6-16.htm" title="And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? for you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.">2Corinthians 6:16</a>).<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/leviticus/26.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 12.</span> -
