Context — God's Promises and Warningsgenerated

40But if they will confess their iniquity and that of their fathers in the unfaithfulness that they practiced against Me, by which they have also walked in hostility toward Me—
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.

Leviticus 26:41 outlines God's response to Israel's disobedience and His conditions for their return to favor. The chapter emphasizes the importance of repentance and humility, illustrating the relationship between God's discipline and His mercy. This passage serves as a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and His people, highlighting the need for acknowledgment of sin and a sincere return to Him.

The Key Word הֶעָרֵל, he'aralgenerated

The word הֶעָרֵל (he'aral) means 'uncircumcised', referring not only to a physical state but also to a spiritual condition of being unresponsive to God. It implies a lack of commitment to the covenant and an unwillingness to submit to God's authority.

In this context, it signifies the need for the Israelites to humble their hearts, indicating a deeper spiritual renewal rather than mere external compliance. The use of this term underscores the seriousness of their condition and the necessity for genuine repentance.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

All translations agree on the meaning of הֶעָרֵל as 'uncircumcised'.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb אֵלֵךְ (elakh), 'I will walk', governs the main clause, followed by a series of prepositional phrases and subordinate clauses that detail God's actions and the conditions for Israel's restoration.

The structure emphasizes the sequence of God's actions and the conditional nature of His promises, reflecting the cause-and-effect relationship between Israel's humility and God's mercy.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates הֶעָרֵל as ἀπερίτμητος, which carries the same meaning of 'uncircumcised'. This choice maintains the original's emphasis on spiritual unresponsiveness.

The translation reflects a consistent understanding of the term within the context of covenant faithfulness, indicating a shared interpretation of the need for spiritual renewal.

If then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled.—Better, or rather, their uncircumcised hearts shall be humbled. This is a resumption of the statement made at the beginning of Lev 26:40, viz., “And they shall confess their iniquity . . . ;” or rather, their uncircumcised hearts shall be humbled. That is, perverse and stubborn hearts; too proud to make an humble confession. (See Leviticus 19:23, with Jeremiah 9:26.) The same metaphor is used by the Apostle: “Ye stiffnecked and…

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text and the Samaritan Pentateuch agree closely, with only one word differing: the Samaritan uses הלך (halakh) for 'walk'. This minor variation does not change the overall meaning of the verse.

wok (peripatein): Aside from its frequent occurrence in the usual sense, the word "walk" is used figuratively of conduct and of spiritual states. (1) Observance of laws or customs: "Thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs" (Ac 21:21). (2) Of the spiritual life: "If we walk in the light, as he is in the light" (1Joh 1:7); "That like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life" (Ro 6:4); "Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh" (Ga 5:16); "For we walk by faith, not by sight"…

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

Is often figuratively used to denote a man’s mode of life, or his spiritual character, course, and relations, Eze 11:20. He may walk as a carnal or as a spiritual man, Ro 8:1; with God, or in ignorance and sin, Ge 5:24 1Jo 5:21; in the fire of affliction, Isa 43:2, or in the light, purity, and joy of Christ’s favor here and in heaven, Ps 89:15 Re 3:4.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
