Bible Question: leviticus 26:8 true meaning |
Bible Answer: A sign of the promised blessing of peace is that Yahweh, the “Divine Warrior,” will fight for them and give them the victory over their enemies, no matter how great the odds against them. Thus five can rout a hundred. This underdog-turned-conqueror theme is also found in Deuteronomy 32:30, Joshua 23:10 and Isaiah 30:17. Similar assurance of the aid of a “Divine Warrior” is found in the Moabite inscription of King Mesha (c. 830 b.c.). — Bible Background Commentary |
