What is the second blessing that accompanies covenant obedience?

Lévitique 26:6 (NEG79)

6 Je mettrai la paix dans le pays, et personne ne troublera votre sommeil; je ferai disparaître du pays les bêtes féroces, et l'épée ne passera point par votre pays.

The Lord also promises that the Hebrews will have peace in the land. The Hebrew word for peace is šālôm. It is a rich term that includes concepts such as harmony, prosperity, well-being, and contentment. In Leviticus 26:1–46, šālôm expresses the idea of security and protection.
