What is happening here?
Leviticus 26 presents covenant blessings for obedient Israel and escalating judgments for persistent rebellion. Blessings include rain, harvest, peace, victory, multiplication, and God dwelling among the people. Curses intensify through disease, defeat, drought, wild beasts, sword, famine, siege, desolation, and exile if Israel refuses correction. Yet the chapter ends with hope: if the people confess their iniquity and are humbled, the LORD will remember his covenant with Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham and will not utterly cast them away.
