Leviticus 26:6

Context
26:6 I will grant peace in the land so that 1  you will lie down to sleep without anyone terrifying you. 2  I will remove harmful animals 3  from the land, and no sword of war 4  will pass through your land.

Ezekiel 14:15-16

Context

14:15 “Suppose I were to send wild animals through the land and kill its children, leaving it desolate, without travelers due to the wild animals. 14:16 Even if these three men were in it, as surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, they could not save their own sons or daughters; they would save only their own lives, and the land would become desolate.

Isaiah 11:9

Context

11:9 They will no longer injure or destroy

on my entire royal mountain. 5 

For there will be universal submission to the Lord’s sovereignty,

just as the waters completely cover the sea. 6 

Daniel 6:22

Context
6:22 My God sent his angel and closed the lions’ mouths so that they have not harmed me, because I was found to be innocent before him. Nor have I done any harm to you, O king.”

[26:6]  1 tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.

[26:6]  2 tn Heb “and there will be no one who terrifies.” The words “to sleep” have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[26:6]  3 tn Heb “harmful animal,” singular, but taken here as a collective plural (so almost all English versions).

[26:6]  4 tn Heb “no sword”; the words “of war” are supplied in the translation to indicate what the metaphor of the sword represents.

[11:9]  5 tn Heb “in all my holy mountain.” In the most basic sense the Lord’s “holy mountain” is the mountain from which he rules over his kingdom (see Ezek 28:14, 16). More specifically it probably refers to Mount Zion/Jerusalem or to the entire land of Israel (see Pss 2:6; 15:1; 43:3; Isa 56:7; 57:13; Ezek 20:40; Ob 16; Zeph 3:11). If the Lord’s universal kingdom is in view in this context (see the note on “earth” at v. 4), then the phrase would probably be metonymic here, standing for God’s worldwide dominion (see the next line).

[11:9]  6 tn Heb “for the earth will be full of knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” The translation assumes that a universal kingdom is depicted here, but אֶרֶץ (’erets) could be translated “land” (see the note at v. 4). “Knowledge of the Lord” refers here to a recognition of the Lord’s sovereignty which results in a willingness to submit to his authority. See the note at v. 2.
