In the biblical context, "walking" signifies God's active presence and intervention. The imagery of God walking in fury suggests a deliberate and powerful response to Israel's disobedience. This is consistent with the covenantal relationship established in the Mosaic Law, where blessings and curses are contingent upon Israel's faithfulness (Deuteronomy 28). The concept of divine fury is also seen in other scriptures, such as <a href="/isaiah/63-3.htm">Isaiah 63:3</a>, where God's wrath is depicted as trampling in a winepress. This reflects the seriousness of sin and the holiness of God, who cannot tolerate iniquity.<p><b>and I, even I, will punish you</b><br>The repetition of "I, even I" emphasizes the certainty and personal involvement of God in executing judgment. It underscores that the punishment is not arbitrary but comes directly from God Himself. This personal involvement is a reminder of the intimate nature of the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The punishment is a direct consequence of breaking the covenant, as outlined in <a href="/leviticus/26-14.htm">Leviticus 26:14-39</a>. This phrase also highlights God's sovereignty and justice, ensuring that sin does not go unpunished. The personal pronoun "I" reinforces that God is the ultimate judge, as seen in other passages like <a href="/isaiah/45-23.htm">Isaiah 45:23</a>, where God declares His authority.<p><b>sevenfold for your sins</b><br>The term "sevenfold" signifies completeness and thoroughness in biblical numerology. The number seven often represents perfection or completion, as seen in the creation account in <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1</a>. Here, it indicates the full measure of punishment that corresponds to the gravity of Israel's sins. This concept of sevenfold punishment is part of the covenant curses outlined in <a href="/leviticus/26.htm">Leviticus 26</a>, where God warns of escalating consequences for continued disobedience. The idea of a sevenfold response is also echoed in <a href="/proverbs/6-31.htm">Proverbs 6:31</a>, where a thief must repay sevenfold. This reflects the principle of divine justice, where the punishment is proportionate to the offense. The severity of the punishment serves as a deterrent and a call to repentance, pointing to the need for atonement and ultimately foreshadowing the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, who bore the full penalty for sin.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The speaker in this verse, expressing His response to Israel's disobedience.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The recipients of God's covenant and the ones being warned of the consequences of disobedience.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/m/mount_sinai.htm">Mount Sinai</a></b><br>The place where God delivered the laws and commandments to Moses, including the blessings and curses outlined in <a href="/bsb/leviticus/26.htm">Leviticus 26</a>.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The mediator of the covenant between God and the Israelites, through whom these laws were communicated.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/c/covenant.htm">Covenant</a></b><br>The agreement between God and Israel, which includes blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_divine_discipline.htm">Understanding Divine Discipline</a></b><br>God's discipline is a response to persistent disobedience, intended to bring His people back to righteousness.
