By reminding the Hebrews of their covenant obligation to keep the law, especially by abstaining from idolatry and by sanctifying the sanctuary, the Lord promised that their obedience would be rewarded by rain in the proper seasons, good harvests, peace in the land, and his presence with them. Leviticus 26:1–46 is a unique chapter in the Book of Leviticus; it is the only chapter that is neither legal nor ritualistic in nature.
1 Vous ne vous ferez point d'idoles, vous ne vous élèverez ni image taillée ni statue, et vous ne placerez dans votre pays aucune pierre ornée de figures, pour vous prosterner devant elle; car je suis l'Eternel, votre Dieu.
