The Hebrew root here is "&#1492;&#1500;&#1498;" (halak), which means to go or to walk, but in this context, it implies a decisive movement or action by God. This indicates that God is not passive but actively involved in the moral and spiritual state of His people. Historically, this reflects the covenant relationship where God responds to the obedience or disobedience of Israel.<p><b>with fury</b><br />The word "fury" comes from the Hebrew "&#1495;&#1461;&#1502;&#1464;&#1492;" (chemah), which denotes intense anger or wrath. This is not a capricious anger but a righteous indignation against sin and rebellion. In the ancient Near Eastern context, deities were often depicted as wrathful, but the God of Israel's fury is always just and purposeful, aimed at correction and restoration rather than mere destruction.<p><b>against you</b><br />The phrase "against you" personalizes the judgment, indicating that it is directed specifically at those who have broken the covenant. This highlights the personal nature of the relationship between God and His people. In the broader scriptural context, it serves as a warning that God's judgment is not abstract but is a direct response to the actions of individuals and communities.<p><b>and I, even I</b><br />The repetition "and I, even I," emphasizes the certainty and seriousness of God's involvement. It underscores that this is not an action delegated to others but one that God Himself will undertake. This reflects the biblical theme of God's sovereignty and His ultimate authority over creation and history.<p><b>will punish you</b><br />The term "punish" is derived from the Hebrew "&#1497;&#1505;&#1512;" (yasar), which means to discipline or chastise. This is not punishment for punishment's sake but is intended to bring about repentance and restoration. In the biblical narrative, God's discipline is always aimed at leading His people back to righteousness and covenant faithfulness.<p><b>sevenfold</b><br />The use of "sevenfold" is significant in biblical numerology, where the number seven often represents completeness or perfection. Here, it indicates the fullness of the punishment that corresponds to the gravity of the sin. It serves as a stark reminder of the seriousness of breaking God's covenant and the comprehensive nature of divine justice.<p><b>for your sins</b><br />The phrase "for your sins" identifies the cause of the punishment. The Hebrew word for sin, "&#1495;&#1496;&#1488;" (chata), means to miss the mark or to fall short of God's standards. This highlights the moral and ethical dimensions of the covenant, where sin is not just a legal transgression but a failure to live according to God's holy standards. The historical context of Leviticus is one where the law was given to guide Israel in holiness, and deviation from it required correction to maintain the sanctity of the community.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/26.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(28) <span class= "bld">Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury.</span>--Whilst in <a href="/leviticus/26-24.htm" title="Then will I also walk contrary to you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.">Leviticus 26:24</a> the persistent rebellion is responded to on the part of the defied God in the simple words, "then will I also work contrary unto you," we have here the addition "in fury" as the provocation is more intense.<p><span class= "bld">And I, even I, will chastise you.</span>--Better, <span class= "ital">And I also will chastise you. </span>The verb here is different from the one in <a href="/leviticus/26-24.htm" title="Then will I also walk contrary to you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.">Leviticus 26:24</a>.<p><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/leviticus/26-28.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">I will act</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1493;&#1456;&#1492;&#1464;&#1500;&#1463;&#1499;&#1456;&#1514;&#1468;&#1460;&#1445;&#1497;</span> <span class="translit">(w&#601;&#183;h&#257;&#183;la&#7733;&#183;t&#238;)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw &#124;
