Leviticus 26:6 Summary
Leviticus 26:6 promises that God will give us peace and protect us from harm, just like a shepherd protects his sheep, as seen in Psalm 23:4.

By trusting in God's promises, we can live with confidence and peace, knowing that He is our rock and our salvation, as seen in Psalm 18:2.

- What are some spiritual 'dangerous animals' that I need to be rid of in my life, and how can I trust God to help me overcome them, as seen in Romans 8:37 and 2 Corinthians 2:11?
Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 26:6
And I will give peace in the land,.... Among yourselves, as Aben Ezra; that as safety from enemies is promised before, here it is assured they should be free from insurrections and from riots,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 26:6
And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 26:6
Neither shall the sword go through your land, i.e. war, as the sword is oft taken, as . Otherwise there is the sword of justice. It shall not enter into it, nor have passage through it, much less shall your land be made the seat of war.
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 26:6
Leviticus 26:6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make [you] afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.Ver. 6. Neither shall the sword.] To devour and desolate it, to eat flesh and drink blood, without measure or safety. A fire it is that feeds upon the people, a hungry wolf that snatcheth on both hands.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 26:6
(6) And I will give peace.—Not only are they to have rich harvests, but the Lord will grant them peace among themselves, so that they shall be able to retire at night without any anxiety, or fear of robbers (Psalms 3:5; Psalms 4:8). I will rid evil beasts out of the land.—The promise to destroy the beasts of prey, which endanger life, and which abounded in Palestine, is also to be found in Ezekiel, where exactly the same words are rendered in the Authorised Version, “And will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land” (Ezekiel 34:25). The two passages should be uniform in the translation.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 26:6
6. none shall make you afraid] a familiar expression in the prophetical books (Isaiah 17:2; Micah 4:4; Nahum 2:11), found also in Job (Leviticus 11:19, etc.).
Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 26:6
6. I will give peace in the land — If obedient to Jehovah, the Hebrews were never to suffer the horrors of a hostile invasion or of a civil war.
