In the ancient Near Eastern context, peace was a rare and precious commodity, often disrupted by war, famine, or internal strife. God's promise of peace signifies His sovereign control and blessing over the land, ensuring stability and prosperity. This peace is a divine gift, contingent upon Israel's obedience to God's commandments, as outlined in the preceding verses.and you will lie down with no one to frighten you The phrase "lie down" suggests a state of rest and security, free from anxiety or fear. In a time when marauding bands and hostile neighbors were a constant threat, the assurance of safety was a profound promise. The Hebrew root "shakab" implies a peaceful rest, akin to the rest God promises to His people in <a href="/psalms/23.htm">Psalm 23</a>. This divine protection is a testament to God's faithfulness and His role as a shepherd to His people, providing both physical and spiritual security.I will remove dangerous animals from the land The removal of "dangerous animals" or "evil beasts" (Hebrew: "chayyah ra'ah") signifies God's control over creation. In the ancient world, wild animals posed significant threats to agriculture and human life. By promising their removal, God is ensuring the safety and productivity of the land. This act reflects the harmony between humanity and creation that God intended from the beginning, as seen in the Garden of Eden. It also symbolizes the removal of chaos and disorder, aligning with the broader biblical theme of God bringing order to His creation.and no sword of war will pass through your land The "sword of war" represents conflict and destruction. In the historical context of Israel, surrounded by powerful empires and frequent warfare, the promise that no sword will pass through the land is a profound assurance of divine protection. This promise is contingent upon Israel's faithfulness to the covenant, highlighting the conditional nature of God's blessings. The absence of war signifies not only physical safety but also the presence of God's favor and the fulfillment of His covenant promises. This peace is a foretaste of the ultimate peace that God promises in the eschatological future, where swords will be beaten into plowshares, as prophesied in <a href="/isaiah/2-4.htm">Isaiah 2:4</a>.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/26.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(6) And I will give peace.--Not only are they to have rich harvests, but the Lord will grant them peace among themselves, so that they shall be able to retire at night without any anxiety, or fear of robbers (<a href="/psalms/3-5.htm" title="I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.">Psalm 3:5</a>; <a href="/psalms/4-8.htm" title="I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, LORD, only make me dwell in safety.">Psalm 4:8</a>).I will rid evil beasts out of the land.--The promise to destroy the beasts of prey, which endanger life, and which abounded in Palestine, is also to be found in Ezekiel, where exactly the same words are rendered in the Authorised Version, "And will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land" (<a href="/ezekiel/34-25.htm" title="And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.">Ezekiel 34:25</a>).
