Notes

Leviticus 26:40–45

The chapter ends with a hopeful message: Even after Israel broke the covenant and faced judgment, reconciliation and restoration were still possible if the people confessed and repented (see study note on Leviticus 4:20). God’s grace remained. God did not want to destroy his people; he would restore them if they humbled themselves and repented (see also 2 Chronicles 7:14).
