Leviticus 26:9

“For I will have respect unto you, etc.] Look at them with delight and pleasure, and with a careful eye on them, watch over them to do them good, and protect them from all evil; or turn himself to them from all others, having a particular regard for them and special care of them: and make you fruitful and multiply you; increase their number, as he did in Egypt, even amidst all their afflictions; and much more might they expect this blessing in the land of Canaan, when settled there, which is the original blessing of mankind, (see <010128>Genesis 1:28 9:1); and establish my covenant with you; not the new covenant spoken of in (<243131>Jeremiah 31:31); as Jarchi and other Jewish writers f905…”

“As “the book of the covenant” Exodus 20:22-33 concludes with promises and warnings Exodus 23:20-33, so does this collection of laws contained in the Book of Leviticus. But the former passage relates to the conquest of the land of promise, this one to the subsequent history of the nation. The longer similar passage in Deuteronomy Deut. 27–30 is marked by broader and deeper promises and denunciations having immediate reference not only to outward consequences, but to the spiritual death incurred by transgressing the divine will. Leviticus 26:4 Rain in due season - The periodical rains, on which the fertility of the holy land so much depends, are here spoken of. There are two wet seasons,…”

“Establish my covenant - That is, actually perform all that I have promised in my covenant made with you. Leviticus 26:10”

“26:9 fulfill my covenant: The fulfillment is seen in the “rest” spoken of in Hebrews (Heb 3:11–4:11). The Promised Land should have brought a state of security and prosperity, a state of “rest” to the Israelites (Exod 33:14; Deut 12:10; 25:19; Josh 1:13, 15). Israel succeeded in entering the Promised Land, but their rebellion kept them from seeing the covenant fulfilled.”

“for I: Exo 2:25; Kg2 13:23; Neh 2:20; Psa 89:3, Psa 138:6, Psa 138:7; Jer 33:3; Heb 8:9 make you: Gen 17:6, Gen 17:7, Gen 17:20, Gen 26:4, Gen 28:3, Gen 28:14; Exo 1:7; Deu 28:4, Deu 28:11; Neh 9:23; Psa 107:38 establish: Gen 6:18, Gen 17:7; Exo 6:4; Isa 55:3; Eze 16:62; Luk 1:72 Leviticus 26:10”

“Moreover the Lord would bestow His covenant blessing upon them without intermission. אל פּנה signifies a sympathizing and gracious regard ( Psa 25:16; Psa 69:17). The multiplication and fruitfulness of the nation were a constant fulfilment of the covenant promise ( Gen 17:4-6) and an establishment of the covenant ( Gen 17:7); not merely the preservation of it, but the continual realization of the covenant grace, by which the covenant itself was carried on further and further towards its completion. This was the real purpose of the blessing, to which all earthly good, as the pledge of the constant abode of God in the midst of His people, simply served as the foundation. Leviticus 26:10”
