Leviticus 26:32-33

26:32 I myself will make the land desolate and your enemies who live in it will be appalled. 26:33 I will scatter you among the nations and unsheathe the sword ¹  after you, so your land will become desolate and your cities will become a waste.

Leviticus 26:43

26:43 The land will be abandoned by them ²  in order that it may make up for ³  its Sabbaths while it is made desolate ⁴  without them, ⁵  and they will make up for their iniquity because ⁶  they have rejected my regulations and have abhorred ⁷  my statutes.

¹ tn Heb “and I will empty sword” (see HALOT 1228 s.v. ריק 3).

² tn Heb “from them.” The preposition “from” refers here to the agent of the action (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 455).

³ tn The jussive form of the verb with the simple vav (ו) here calls for a translation that expresses purpose.

⁴ tn The verb is the Hophal infinitive construct with the third feminine singular suffix (GKC 182 §67.y; cf. v. 34).

⁵ tn Heb “from them.”

⁶ tn Heb “because and in because,” a double expression, which is used only here and in Ezek 13:10 (without the vav) for emphasis (GKC 492 §158.b).

⁷ tn Heb “and their soul has abhorred.”
