For the land will be abandoned by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths by lying desolate without them. And they will pay the penalty for their iniquity, because they rejected My ordinances and abhorred My statutes.

'And — the land is left of them, and doth enjoy its sabbaths, in the desolation without them, and they accept the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because, against My judgments they have kicked, and My statutes hath their soul loathed,
The land also will be left by them, and will enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them; and they will accept the punishment of their iniquity because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes.

Context — God Remembers Those Who Repent
41and I acted with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies—and if their uncircumcised hearts will be humbled and they will make amends for their iniquity,
42then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.
43For the land will be abandoned by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths by lying desolate without them. And they will pay the penalty for their iniquity, because they rejected My ordinances and abhorred My statutes.
44Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject or despise them so as to destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God. 45But for their sake I will remember the covenant with their fathers, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD.”Cross References

Leviticus 26:43 Summary
[This verse, Leviticus 26:43, is saying that when the Israelites disobeyed God and didn't follow His rules, the land would be empty and quiet, like it was resting, because they wouldn't be there to take care of it, similar to what is described in Jeremiah 25:11 and Deuteronomy 28:15. This is because God had commanded them to let the land rest every seventh year, as seen in Leviticus 25:4 and Exodus 23:10-11. The Israelites would have to pay the price for their disobedience, but God would still remember His promises to them, as seen in Leviticus 26:44-45 and Romans 11:1-2. This reminds us that our actions have consequences, but God's love and faithfulness are always present, as seen in Psalms 94:14.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for the land to 'enjoy its Sabbaths' in Leviticus 26:43?
This phrase refers to the land being able to rest and recover from the exploitation it suffered at the hands of the Israelites, as God had commanded them to let the land rest every seventh year, as seen in Leviticus 25:4 and Exodus 23:10-11.
Why did God allow the Israelites to be punished and the land to be desolate?
God allowed this punishment because the Israelites rejected His ordinances and abhorred His statutes, as stated in Leviticus 26:43, which is a consequence of their disobedience, as also seen in Deuteronomy 28:15 and Jeremiah 25:11.
Does this verse mean that God has abandoned the Israelites forever?
No, as seen in the surrounding verses, such as Leviticus 26:44-45, God remembers His covenant with the Israelites and will not reject or despise them, even in their disobedience, which is a testament to His faithfulness and love, as also seen in Romans 11:1-2 and Psalms 94:14.
How does this verse relate to the concept of Sabbath rest in the Bible?
This verse highlights the importance of Sabbath rest, not just for humans, but also for the land, as God created the Sabbath for the benefit of both humans and the land, as seen in Genesis 2:2-3 and Exodus 20:8-11.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways in which I may be 'rejecting God's ordinances' or 'abhorring His statutes' in my own life, and what are the potential consequences?
- How can I apply the principle of Sabbath rest to my own life, and what benefits might I experience as a result?
- In what ways can I trust in God's faithfulness and love, even when I am experiencing punishment or discipline for my disobedience?
- What does this verse teach me about the importance of caring for and stewarding the natural world, and how can I apply this in my daily life?
Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 26:43
The land also shall be left of them,.... This seems to refer to a second time, when this should be the case of the land of Judea again, as it was when subdued by the Romans, and the Jews were carried
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 26:43
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 unto me; If they shall confess
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 26:43
Leviticus 26:43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.Ver. 43. They shall accept,] q.d., I will give them to do what I require of them. See Leviticus 26:41.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 26:43
(43) The land also shall be left of them.—Better, but the land shall be deserted by them. The solemn warning is here reiterated, that before God will remember His covenant with the patriarchs, and also be mindful of the land, the land must be depopulated of its rebellious inhabitants, and enjoy the Sabbaths which have been denied to it. This verse, therefore which is substantially a repetition of Lev 26:33-34, seems to have been inserted here to deprecate more solemnly the heinousness of their sins.
