In the context of Leviticus, this hostility is not arbitrary but a divine response to Israel's disobedience. Historically, this reflects the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where blessings and curses were contingent upon obedience. God's hostility serves as a corrective measure, intended to bring His people back to righteousness.and brought them into the land of their enemies The phrase "land of their enemies" refers to the historical reality of Israel's exile, a consequence of their failure to uphold the covenant. The Hebrew word for "enemies" is "אוֹיֵב" (oyev), indicating adversaries or those who oppose. This exile serves as both punishment and a call to repentance, reminding Israel of their dependence on God. Archaeological evidence, such as the Babylonian records, corroborates the historical context of Israel's exile, underscoring the reality of this divine judgment.And if their uncircumcised hearts are humbled The term "uncircumcised hearts" uses the Hebrew "עָרֵל" (arel), metaphorically describing a state of spiritual insensitivity or rebellion. Circumcision was a sign of the covenant, and an "uncircumcised heart" signifies a breach in this relationship. The call for humility is a call to repentance, a theme prevalent throughout Scripture. Humility, in this context, is the recognition of one's sin and the need for divine grace, aligning with the broader biblical narrative of redemption.and they make amends for their iniquity The phrase "make amends" is rooted in the Hebrew "רָצָה" (ratsah), meaning to be pleased or to accept. It implies a restoration of relationship through repentance and atonement. "Iniquity" (עָוֹן, avon) refers to moral perversity or guilt. The process of making amends is central to the Levitical sacrificial system, which foreshadows the ultimate atonement through Christ. This highlights the consistent biblical theme of reconciliation and the transformative power of repentance.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/26.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(41) And that I also have walked contrary unto them.--That is, and they shall also confess that through their walking contrary unto God, He also walked contrary unto them, and brought them into the land of their enemies.If then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled.--Better, or rather, their uncircumcised hearts shall be humbled. This is a resumption of the statement made at the beginning of <a href="/leviticus/26-40.htm" title="If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary to me;">Leviticus 26:40</a>, viz., "And they shall confess their iniquity . . . ;" or rather, their uncircumcised hearts shall be humbled. That is, perverse and stubborn hearts; too proud to make an humble confession. (See <a href="/leviticus/19-23.htm" title="And when you shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then you shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised to you: it shall not be eaten of.">Leviticus 19:23</a>, with <a href="/jeremiah/9-26.htm" title="Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.">Jeremiah 9:26</a>.) The same metaphor is used by the Apostle: "Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost" (<a href="/acts/7-51.htm" title="You stiff necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you.">Acts 7:51</a>).Accept of the punishment of their iniquity.--Rather, accept willingly, that is, they will acknowledge the justice of their punishment, and be in that frame of mind when they will freely own that the punishment is not commensurate with their guilt, and willingly accept the Divine retribution. The exact shade of meaning covered by this phrase in the original cannot adequately be given in a translation, since the verb here translated "accept," or "accept willingly," is the same which is translated "enjoy" in <a href="/leviticus/26-34.htm" title="Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and you be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.">Leviticus 26:34</a>. The whole phrase denotes literally, they shall rejoice in their iniquity, or in the punishment of their iniquity; they will take it joyfully, as the best and most appropriate means to bring them to repentance. The nearest approach to it is the passage, "I will bear the indignation of the Lord, for I have sinned against him" (<a href="/micah/7-9.htm" title="I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.">Micah 7:9</a>). . . . <a href="/commentaries/leviticus/26-41.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>and אַף־ (’ap̄-) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_637.htm">Strong's 637: </a> Meaning accession, yea, adversatively though I אֲנִ֗י (’ă·nî) Pronoun - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_589.htm">Strong's 589: </a> I acted אֵלֵ֤ךְ (’ê·lêḵ) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1980.htm">Strong's 1980: </a> To go, come, walk with hostility בְּקֶ֔רִי (bə·qe·rî) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7147.htm">Strong's 7147: </a> Opposition, contrariness toward עִמָּם֙ (‘im·mām) Preposition | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5973.htm">Strong's 5973: </a> With, equally with them and brought וְהֵבֵאתִ֣י (wə·hê·ḇê·ṯî) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> To come in, come, go in, go them into the land בְּאֶ֖רֶץ (bə·’e·reṣ) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land of their enemies— אֹיְבֵיהֶ֑ם (’ō·yə·ḇê·hem) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_341.htm">Strong's 341: </a> Hating, an adversary and אוֹ־ (’ōw-) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_176.htm">Strong's 176: </a> Desire, if if their uncircumcised הֶֽעָרֵ֔ל (he·‘ā·rêl) Article | Adjective - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6189.htm">Strong's 6189: </a> Having foreskin (uncircumcised) hearts לְבָבָם֙ (lə·ḇā·ḇām) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3824.htm">Strong's 3824: </a> Inner man, mind, will, heart will be humbled יִכָּנַ֗ע (yik·kā·na‘) Verb - Nifal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3665.htm">Strong's 3665: </a> To bend the knee, to humiliate, vanquish and they will make amends יִרְצ֥וּ (yir·ṣū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7521.htm">Strong's 7521: </a> To be pleased with, to satisfy a, debt for their iniquity, עֲוֺנָֽם׃ (‘ă·wō·nām) Noun - common singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5771.htm">Strong's 5771: </a> Iniquity, guilt, punishment for iniquity <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/leviticus/26-41.htm">Leviticus 26:41 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/leviticus/26-41.htm">Leviticus 26:41 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/leviticus/26-41.htm">Leviticus 26:41 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/leviticus/26-41.htm">Leviticus 26:41 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/leviticus/26-41.htm">Leviticus 26:41 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/leviticus/26-41.htm">Leviticus 26:41 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/leviticus/26-41.htm">Leviticus 26:41 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/leviticus/26-41.htm">Leviticus 26:41 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/leviticus/26-41.htm">Leviticus 26:41 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/leviticus/26-41.htm">Leviticus 26:41 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/leviticus/26-41.htm">OT Law: Leviticus 26:41 I also walked contrary to them (Le Lv Lev.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/leviticus/26-40.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Leviticus 26:40"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Leviticus 26:40" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/leviticus/26-42.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Leviticus 26:42"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Leviticus 26:42" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
