Leviticus 26:19

26:19 I will break your strong pride and make your sky like iron and your land like bronze.

Leviticus 26:37

26:37 They will stumble over each other as those who flee before a sword, though there is no pursuer, and there will be no one to take a stand for you before your enemies.

Leviticus 25:43

25:43 You must not rule over him harshly, but you must fear your God.


tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) is used in a concessive sense here.

tn The term rendered “to stand up” is a noun, not an infinitive. It occurs only here and appears to designate someone who would take a powerful stand for them against their enemies.

tn Heb “You shall not rule in him in violence”; cf. NASB “with severity”; NIV “ruthlessly.”
