Context — Consequences of Disobediencegenerated

23And if in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,
24then I will act with hostility toward you, and I will strike you sevenfold for your sins.
25And I will bring a sword against you to execute the vengeance of the covenant. Though you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
26When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women will bake your bread in a single oven and dole out your bread by weight, so that you will eat but not be satisfied.

Leviticus 26:24 is part of a larger section where God outlines the blessings for obedience and the curses for disobedience. This verse specifically details the consequences of turning away from God and refusing to accept His guidance. The context serves as a warning to the Israelites about the seriousness of their actions and the resulting divine response.

The Key Word בְּקֶ֑רִי, be.Ke.rigenerated

The word בְּקֶ֑רִי (be.Ke.ri) means 'in contrariness' or 'hostility.' It indicates a state of being opposed or contrary to something, often used in contexts that describe conflict or opposition. This term emphasizes the severity of God's response when His people act against Him.

In this verse, it highlights that God will not only act with hostility but will do so in a manner that is severe and punitive. The use of this word underscores the seriousness of the Israelites' sins and the consequences they will face.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

All translations agree that God will act with hostility and strike the people for their sins, emphasizing the severity of His judgment.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb in this verse is הָלַכְתִּ֧י (ve.ha.lakh.Ti), meaning 'I will walk' or 'I will act.' The structure follows a pattern where the subject (God) is linked with the actions of hostility and striking, indicating the consequences of disobedience.

The sentence is structured to emphasize God's actions in response to the people's sins, with the adverbial phrase שֶׁ֖בַע (She.va') modifying how severe the punishment will be.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates בְּקֶ֑רִי as πλαγίῳ, which suggests a nuance of being contrary or twisted. This choice indicates a broader interpretation of God's judgment as not just punitive but also as a reflection of the moral state of the people.

This translation choice helps to convey the depth of God's displeasure and the resulting consequences for the Israelites.

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.
