The Key Word — יָסַר, ti.vas.Rugenerated
The verb יָסַר (yasar) means to discipline or correct. It encompasses a range of actions, including instructing and admonishing, which can involve both teaching and punishment. In this verse, it highlights God's desire for His people to accept His guidance and correction.
The Niphal form indicates a passive or reflexive action, suggesting that the Israelites are to allow themselves to be disciplined. This reflects God's intention for their reformation and return to a right relationship with Him.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause centers on the verb תִוָּסְר֖וּ (ti.vas.Ru), you will let yourself be disciplined, with two phrases following: a prepositional phrase indicating the object of the discipline, and another verb phrase describing the action of walking. The structure emphasizes the conditional nature of God's warning.
The order of the Hebrew emphasizes the refusal of discipline first, leading to the subsequent action of walking in hostility. This arrangement highlights the cause-and-effect relationship between rejecting correction and the resulting behavior.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint uses παιδευθῆτε (paideuthēte) for יָסַר, indicating a focus on the educational aspect of discipline. This choice suggests an interpretation that emphasizes learning and growth through correction, rather than merely punishment.
The LXX's rendering aligns with the idea of nurturing through discipline, which may reflect a broader understanding of God's intentions for His people.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Leviticus 26:23 warns that if the Israelites do not accept God's discipline, they will continue to walk in opposition to Him. This verse is part of a larger warning about the consequences of disobedience, emphasizing the need for correction and the dangers of rejecting it.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Accepting God's discipline means recognizing His guidance and correction as necessary for spiritual growth and restoration.
Walking in hostility toward God can lead to separation from Him and the negative consequences outlined in the preceding verses.
We can recognize God's discipline through circumstances that challenge us, prompting reflection and growth, often aligning with His word.
Walking with God involves living in accordance with His will and guidance, fostering a close relationship with Him.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what ways have I experienced God's discipline in my life?
- How can I be more receptive to God's correction?

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"…
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.
